Not much in the way of feedback this month. This is no doubt due to the lack of attention that I have paid to the site in the last six months. I will endeavour to keep up with my mail now, so please send any comments/feedback etc via the webform at: http://www.pgts.com.au/page04.php

Dear Webmaster,

 -- Message Follows --
Have read your artice about the ineffectiveness of anti-spam
legislation, while writing a submission to the local Liberal Member of
Federal Parliament. I met with him today to complain about its
restrictiveness for small business, and the costs the Act places on us
to no real benefit.

Ed: I was being rather tardy with my emails when Jeff sent this
mail. Eventually I sent him a reply:

Sorry to take so long replying to this Jeff.

But, I meant to ask whether your local member has followed up on this.
e.g. any questions in parliment? Or maybe raising the issue with DCITA?

Oh and you could mention that the amount of spam has not decreased by an
iota. In fact if anything it has increased!

Dear Webmaster,

 -- Message Follows --
I arrived at your web site while Googling "sqworm". I noticed in my
stats report a hit on my site by "Sqworm/2.9.85-BETA (beta_release;
20011115-775; i686-pc-linux-gnu" and was curious as to what it is. Since
you refer to this on your site... can you shed any light on the subject?
It would be much appreciated. When replying, please put "sqworm" in
subject line so my spam filter will not toss, thanks.
