Ridiculous.  You cancelled one of my postings much earlier today
Wayne (from fmdavis@nortel.com), and there was no need for it. 
We ARE (supposedly) all of the same commonwealth, and as such,

discussing here, so there is no need to cancel articles because 
YOU deem them "irrelevant" to nz.general.
