I really don't understand this thinking. I mean, yes, we all understand that it can get frustrating reading utterings that are wrong on the internet. But that's going to happen no matter where you are. To not discuss topics of mutual interest out of some concern that people are going to get frustrated (even if those people might be the fabled "DEFPROs") is over the top. The funny thing here is the discussion has been really engaging, constructive, civil. Yes, there's much speculating. Of course there is. As there would be on any topic that people are interested in. "What's going to happen next? What decision will the powers that be make? What decision should they make? What are the options?" Should these discussions as are being had here be left for the slightly moderated discussions for subscribers of Nine newspapers or for social media, where there is so little knowledge it's more than frustrating, it's positively infuriating? Do we who take part in the discussion here really want there to be little to no activity for days on end as we wait for details? I think old faithful has unfairly characterised the discussion. Yes, people are speculating what certain details released so far actually mean, but they are doing so from rational, informed, logical positions. I've seen the discussion here referenced on another forum. It's credible, it's engaging, it's informative. There's just no need for grumpiness. Rather, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed. I have been enthused to read every comment. Like all of you, I can tell the difference between idle and informed speculation, between facts and assumptions, and so forth. Still, this is a really big development for my country, it's a topic I'm interested in, and I want to hear different opinions - even those I might disagree with.
