Speed, Quality, Cheap. Pick any Two.

Decimation of the Smart One Thousand
Monday, February 4th, 2008Before you get all concerned about the word ‘decimation’, read the etymology.
OK, now we see we are getting 10 groups of 100 people thinking (thanks for correcting my spelling, Uncle Mike) deeply about topics important to the future of Australia in a radio-sound-byte year (why not 2022. Nah, 2020 just sounds better)
