Good Day,

Hey!  I resemble that "inducement".... but I've seen the error of my ways.  After careful consideration, I've realised my folly of trying to "pervert the course of development" so instead.... please consider the small flock of Australian chicks (15 hens and 1 cockerel which are due to arrive mid next week at JR HQ) as a gift to strengthen the bond between out two nations.  ;D  I'm looking forward to the pics of the Chook shed as they settle into their new home and I'm sure they will be as productive as JR will be with MC development for years to come!

Edit - Nothing says "thanks" like Omaha Steaks or Poultry!

I *think* that by buying MC, or signing up at the forum, you get added to the list.

They are infrequent enough not to be a pain, and they come with a 'remove me' link if you've had enough.
