Yes, dreadnought colleagues ... and a little list-banter is good :-)

Yes again Ivan, email lists do allow, 'a genuine opportunity to have
our say' and, achieving well-discussed and democratic outcomes.

On this occasion, and, simply because of the topic being 'off-topic'
to the teaching etc of English, it may be appropriate to continue the
discussions on (VIT lists?) the www.edumail.com.au 'offtopic' list.

Be that as it may, if your school is considering 'moodle', 'blackboard'
or any of the e-learning systems (computer desktops) my next email
will be of interest. It would be good to read of people's experiences.

Cheers all ..
