Ah, yes, it is my birthday, or was. Thank you for your kind consideration across that wide blue Pacific. As Bush once said in reverse in a speech on the first day of the year, "Another crazy year again".

Thank you, too, Naomi.
Unfortunately, the website ain't been happening for the reason I have been working massive amounts of overtime and am now studying law in the evenings! I have finally given up the idea of clinical work and am more in my element now - Sydney, a great job teaching, good money, and law to boot!

I tend to be a procrastinator, I'm afraid. What takes someone months may takes me years! Things got very busy over the last 2 months with heaps of overtime and starting law as well as having to start the Cert IV in Workplace and Assessment required by TAFE. So between that and tiredness, I haven't had time for anything else. I have 2 weeks break and will use that time to catch up with all studies and bring that under control. And my work hours should start becoming more 'normal' in January. So, hopefully I can turn my attention again to RS.
In regard to the website and research, my purpose has been to be seen as (sufficiently) independent from RS, and I have intended to use non RS hosting for the website because I want to be seen as an independent operator from the RS group.
My reason for this is if there is interest from linguists and some others concerning the site (my purpose) and subsequently the possibility of putting together a nationwide conference (inviting academia) to discuss the phenomenon, I feel it is better if they don't see/accuse me as being an "RS groupie" etc, and the conference being an attempt to simply further the RS community. (What's that movie with Brad Pitt as the lawyer acting as prosecutor against his friends, yet with the purpose of getting the murder charge against them dismissed?). I would want the conference to be seen as independent from the RS community and completely scientifically focussed. It was very easy for those Monash people to make all kinds of accusations which were levelled at you and I don't want to have to waste energy fending off crap from people in the future.
