And, I should add: the SRC President ('publisher') hit the roof when she
found out, and the next ones spotted nicking copies will be charged with
theft. I urge the Church not to provoke her -- she fulfills all known
stereotypes of redheads. You have been warned.

(The concept of prosecuting for theft is quite on the money: The things
are intended for students to take, and are paid for from student fees;
just because they're sitting around 'free to take' doesn't mean they
aren't the property of the SRC and obviously intended for students to
take a SINGLE copy of. And they have a cost and hence a value when
reporting the matter to police.  And pocket cameras are wonderful things.
And I'm getting sorely tempted to copy up a bundle of the original article
and spread it far and wide.  And, of course, I could never stop anyone
else from doing so anonymously; in the sense that it's physically
impossible for me to do so. Though, of course, I will hereby state that
I would NOT encourage anyone to do so. DON'T copy up a pile and hand
them out in the Bourke Street Mall. DON'T print them up on sticker paper
and put them in every public toilet in Melbourne. Please.)

Please email ALL followups or I'll probably never see them -- *BAD* newsfeed.
Personal visits from Scientologists will be greeted with extreme hostility
  and the vigilant attention of VUT Security, but personal physical violence
  *only* when appropriate, legal and called-for. Like we did to the Two Gits.
