[Adam Peake]

Bill Semich is not representative of the Internet Users Society-Niue, 
he was, but handed over to Emani F-Lui  (Emani casts the vote, been 
this way at least since the beginning of the year.)

The constituency mailing list is open to all, don't have to be a 
member.  Always good to see Bill's mail.

Thanks,

Adam
