I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Well done Dave,
I can see how you pursue every avenue to be a great ambassador of the "Bush Poetry" genre. For this I thank you. Well done in your latest success, which you so richly deserve. You spend the time and sweat over the writing, but still you don't sit back, you go out there and follow up. Good on you!
All Promotion of our craft is both good for the individual and the whole group.
