I take a while, unless they seem Distinctive to me :-)

Well, ditto. :)

Of course I'm now luring locals into lj...or learning they were already there!

Cooool. That helps!

It doesn't help that I live about an hour or so south of Melbourne proper.

Huh! Didn't know how far out you were. I knew you weren't in Melbourne proper, but not where you _were_.

I know more nifty lj folks in Massachusetts than my state of Australia still however, I suspect :-0

Heh. Possibly even more nifty LJ folks in the Boston area, even, I suspect. There seems to be a huge number of such in Boston. :)

Luck with any further anthropological studies, and isn't Olver Sacks nifty?

Thank you, and I have no clue who Olver Sacks is. :)
