<div dir="ltr">Greetings all,<div><br></div><div style>My 10 cents worth. This is my first ever response / post to this group. I don't work in the industry (although I do hold a degree in CSE), I'm not a journalist, have never referenced anything said in the group, and frankly never intend to.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>What I do have however is a thirst for knowledge. Whilst AUSNOG does add a fair weight to my inbox, most of the discussion is valuable. I can't count the number of times that someone (Skeeve, for example) has mentioned something or made an observation that has led me on a fascinating Google search to learn more. For me, groups like this epitomise the very essence of the internet - a place to learn and discover. I would hate to be excluded due only to my occupation. Combined, your knowledge leaves me in awe.</div>
