Just a minor note...I believe Larry is slowly getting ready to get out of
factoring [I seem to remember August being mentioned in connection with
this], so this avenue won't be open for much longer. Also, as he is
currently touring europe, he won't be able to help with the factoring
anyway. This being the case, probably the best way to send payment would be
for several people to chip in, and one person to send the payment over
either to Todd and Co, or to someone in the US [if there's a sale/purchase
currently under way] and for them to send it on if they're agreeable to
doing this.

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I believe this was originally used by
Richard to have a go at the sepo's who complained about the colourful
language being used in this forum. [Just because Strine is a better
language, they try to prevent us using parts of it. 'Tis a pity our language
use has to be 'regulated' by the sepo's...[2]] However, I could be
wrong....It wouldn't be the first time :)
[2] I'm still waiting for someone from outside Aus to ask what Strine is :)
