Sad as it is, I see neither of these things occur very regularly in

Agreed - I guess that's why the whole a-ism thing has very much an emphasis at
a low community level.

Yes. The problem is complex, though: If you go back to a small
community (say, max cities out at 100k inhabitants.), can you still
sustain technology at out current level, and rise beyond that? Are
million-plus-inhabitant cities a necessary byproduct of
'civilisation', and are violence and degradation of standards a
necessary byuproduct of that?

Honours, no less? Congratulations... Summa Cum Laude.

Heh - thanks! I'm still studying for it, so save the congrats for about 5
months until I get it :)

So... how do you know it's gonna be honours? Around here, that is
nearly always determined after it is turned in, except for possibly a
few winkwinknudgenudge hints about if it's good enough.
