[SEL] Register Opinion

[Michael Young]

Patrick, for those of us that own an Austral and the rest that wish they 
did, it looks like you are doing a great job. I have a copy of the last 
print out from Peter Wilcock and look forward to seeing where you are going 
with it now.  As long as peoples privacy wishes are maintained the more in 
the pubic domain the better.  It was a shame to see what happened to the 
Hornsby register a few years back when it was taken off the Steam Engine of 
Australia website - due to the wishes of the new custodian of that info not 
Paul's.  Fortunately I snuck a copy (for personal research purposes 
naturally) from the Google cache just after it was taken off - phew?
