OK. Being a kind and reasonable person, I'm forced to admit that
you're right, and I was being unnecessarily cruel in my comments,
and that your move to Tasmania _has_ improved the local gene pool
significantly, as well as improving Sydney's.

Yep. I have 3 bright kids still living in Sydney so you're 100%
correct, I've improved both gene pools!

Not quite the way you meant, of course, and you could have had the
decency to acknowledge a paraphrase of Piggy Muldoon.

Was unaware of it. Normally when I am aware of such, I take care
to quote ("xxx"). In this case, I suspect parallel evolution in
language: an obvious derivation which is made in multiple cases,
not necessarily connected.

IIRC Piggy once said, of Kiwis heading to Oz, that this migration would
raise the IQ of both countries.

Ah well. I'll have my revenge on Sydney, Sydneysiders and Sydney
exiles soon (soon, soon!) (I hope...)

No need. Living in Sydney is the revenge.
