My inbox is now filling up with spin - what's the correct irregular verb for
spinning, I wonder? - and courtesy of the AAP, the first reports you'll find
will be along the lines that "Estens finds Telstra Adequate".

Even reading the executive summary, I don't think it's an excellent report
card for Telstra - give me time though, it's brand-new!

Telstra's welcomed the report, according to the first spindoctor e-mail ...
which means they're seething, but they're happy that the executive summary
(ie, the crayons version) isn't overtly nasty to Telstra.
