    Administration,

    After I read your 3 rules I noted I was denied right of reply on that particular topic. I can assure you there was no malicious intent, nor support for the Nazies.

    I worked with one who liberated Belson and all he told me was digusting in the extreme. What I wanted to convey was eating less gave the same result as stapling, in the hope it would discourage others from possible injury believing internal surgery may carry risks.

    You will have noted I have supported both Maori and others when the occasion arose and consider myself a neutral correspondent.

    Yes I have repeated myself, but when one is limited to the truth there are boundaries one cannot transgress. Due to restrictions placed upon me by you in the past, I have been limited to fewer comments. Never at any time have I abused anyone, or anything, but you would notice I have brought life to your postings through the lively comments of others and therefore have increased interest in your web site.

    Please excuse me from commenting off topic, but had no choice, I will not comment further on the above for this reason.

    I remember my kuia & koro sayings
    “maori national flag” (united tribes flag) is true and respectful flag
    This the history the world knows and never be lost!
