   I was wrong on this factoid.  My memory is most certainly inaccuarate in this   
   detail; it may have only been the "largest city in the"... state of Queensland   
   or... in Australia, measured by land area.  I forget which.

   Ah-ha!  Yes.  Smart fellow!  Thanks for that idea.

   Oh, it was there alright.  It just didn't want to talk with you.  These   
   computer things can get a little confused sometimes.  I've given it a kick in   
   the backside and it now appears to want to work again.  Please try again,   
   whenever convenient.  Thank you for your note, Alexander.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
