[Year 12 IT Apps] Attn list moderator please...

Wed Jul 2 11:56:26 EST 2008

At risk of offending, I am beginning to feel that some regular recent posts appear to be non year 12 IT applications related. We seem to be seeing lots of non-outcome related content.
Can the list moderator please comment on my observation. I have a feeling others may be of similar perspective.

Hi all,

Regarding the new Red Cross CPR-instructions download initiative,

And, Michael writes,

Both excellent points, guys .. I have alerted the Red Cross media people
to the Oz-teachers list archives, and, both of your emails have thus been
brought to the attention of management at the Australian Red Cross. Both
are fine points, and although I'm sure everyone wishes the Red Cross well,
and would applaud this CPR initiative, your questions do need answering.

Now awaiting a response from the REd Cross regarding the points you have
raised .. let's see what they say. Hope they can come to some sort of deal
with Telstra etc regarding wide, & cheap, access to their fine initiative.

Cheers people
