We don't have the same sorts of users that Wellington has.  Also it's true
that Auckland is an impersonal and job oriented city (or at least far more so
than any other in NZ.)  Also we don't have thousands of Government Service
Staff (or ex <the same>) who arent used to working seriously, but instead waste
waste there days reading newspapers and posting News.  (It's true, the average
newspaper readerhip in Auckland is lower, it even closed our 2nd largest (of
two) newspapers not so long ago.)

I don't ever remember seing that thread.  It must be what Wellingtonians talk
about when thay have been isolated from the productivity and knowldege capital
of New Zealand.
