And now, in high fidelity ASCII, it's David Formosa (aka ? the Platypus)
with some words for aus.net.news:

<snip>

}I can think of one that hasn't been mentioned seasonally. Australian
}sesons are 180 degrees out of phase with Northen Hemisphere seasons.
}As topics arise from the sesonal change in freash ingredents, from an
}Australian perspective this newsgroup is upside down. You talk about
}summer foods in winter and winter foods in summer.

That strikes me as as probably the best justification for the proposed
group I've seen.
