Nah...I think it's because they're nearer the equator, and so have to stay
in out of the sun during the day, so that's how they took off. The worrying
thing is that they have so many messages, yet there are fewer people that
speak Italian than speak english, so they have less chance of droppers-in in
there than we do [eg the lego guns question with people from all over
replying] I think that if there were as many Italian speakers around as
English, they could end up ahead of the US...luckily there aren't, but I
reckon we need another good thread or two started [without me joining from
work :) ] to help us catch them....We also need all .org.au posts
cross-posted to here. [except auction/sale ones, that is]
