[pmwiki-users] Sad news for your Kiwi

[David Spitzley]

What do you want to bet that just by suitably re-classifying it
("Vegemite, the wonder lubricant"), the ban could be evaded?

Well, I'm a 4th generation Kiwi, still resident in New Zealand.

I eat both Marmite and Vegemite with equal fervour. It really seems a
pretty
arid argument about which one is better but one thing is for sure -
Bureaucracies can be just plain stupid - this news report (which I've
now
seen from several sources including this evening on our local TV) is
simply
one more demonstration of that fact.

BUT ..... I guess many of us here are professional IT types who've
probably
had a pretty good living out of build ing systems to address fubars
created
by bureaucrats! Let's face it, if someone out there wasn't creating
problems
we wouldn't have jobs
