Hello,

Here is an excerpt from a US Supplier's e-mail to me this morning, when responding to a product query I raised with him:

"Sorry to hear about the loss of your countrymen Steve Irwin. He was very popular here in the states and will be missed by a lot of people including myself."

Seems Steve did leave his mark world wide in spite of the unsavoury comments from Greer.

Cheers

Dennis
