Seriously:rarely a problem.Aussies have healthy contempt for politicians,clergy and anyone who wears their beliefs on their sleeve. ( except sports of course) Sane people avoid such fanatics,who fortunately, are in the minority here. I have NEVER actually met a young earth creationist, or a Libertarian. Cool Shades

Unfortunately, I'm not qualified for that sort of work. Never done anything remotely close to that - and I suspect they're going to want someone more qualified than someone local, if your work visa requirements are anything like ours.

I'm guessing the demand for software developers with 20 years of experience is a little thin.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Hmm, I wonder if my employer would let me telecommute? We've got a couple of developers that do already. Hmmm.

Depends on what you mean by bigotry. I've been shunned, had my tires slashed, and my cats killed because I'm an atheist. Knew who was slashing my tires and killing my cats, but I couldn't prove it.

Clearly in the UK we have a superior brand of fundies. Ours generally keep themselves to themselves, our try to convert you in the politest easy possible e.g by not mentioning hell.

How very English. Mentioning anything as unpleasant as hell would be considered uncouth, at least until they had taken money from you.Thinking
