Solon

Solon was the Athenian law reformer who mitigated the Draconian laws.

After introducing his reforms, Solon sailed away for ten years, so that he could not be forced to repeal the new laws.

Solon introduced the concept that all citizens should have access to justice in the courts.

All we can tell you is that they are South Australians.

And they like to save their bookmarks/favourites on the hard disks of ISPs intead of on their own overloaded hard disks.

They are subject to professional restrictions and employment conditions, and their identities cannot be disclosed for those reasons.

Sorry. Try again in twenty or thirty years time, when they will be dead or retired, and hence free to disclose their identities.

Meanwhile, keep sending those URL.s and comments in by email, and thanks for all the help:)
