No offence, just a few tips that enhance readability
of your posts...

- Sentences stars with a character in upper case.
- Sentences ends with a period.
- Cook is spelled with upper case "C".

That way, readers will think more about what you actualy
are saying, not the way you say it.

(Btw, what made you spell "Australia" with an upper case "A" ?)
