Australia is a huge landmass with quite a small population when compared to other nations of the globe we inhabit. Alas, our proportion of **fucking idiots** (we call them ‘dropkicks’ downunder) is unfortunately high (given the other parameters I mentioned) so I guess it’s somewhat inevitable that one of them would turn up here. I humbly apologise on behalf of all somewhat reasonable Aussies for the advent of **sentrix**. Treat him like a bushfly…ignore him, and he’ll go annoy someone else or some other messageboard. Better than Aeroguard anyday! 😃 ---
