Streaming of Question Time??  Not critical???  It's consistently 
drawing crowds bigger than the AFL at Manuka, soccer on the Gold 
Coast, and 50-over cricket in Adelaide, all added together!!!

Seriously, mid-morning yesterday, I and a number of other people 
urgently needed copies of Bills that had been tabled earlier in the 
morning - the media has become rather demanding of instant comment, 
as you'd know  (:-)}

And today I urgently needed the phone-number of an electorate office, 
for another reason entirely.

The latter was fine, because whitepages found it instead.

The former wasn't, because of the Library of Alexandria problem.
