they got a break on the air fare

Isn't that the wrong direction for a push-start?

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Captain speaking, before we can commence
our flight today, would you please remove your shoes and socks and follow
the instructions of our flight attendants. Hope you have an enjoyable
flight. Thank you."

Sooo, how fast do they have to push the thing to get it push started?

Just far enough to rewind those two big rubber bands.

Yep. Passengers to get out and push if they
wanted the flight to take off. China.

For info, The bigpond server is only "talking to bigpond customers.
I put some details on the bigpond internal groups e.g.

Well, I tried to tell HelpDesk that the server was only "talking" to
bigpond customers.
The "results" of my phone calls are :

Me : "First, do you know what a news server is"?
Desk : "No"
Me : "Can you transfer me to someone who handles the news server"
Desk : "OK"
(on hold for 13 minutes)
Desk : "How can I help you?"
Me : " Do you know what a news server is?"
Desk : "No"
Me : "Well the news server is only accepting posts from bigpond customers,
and not from anyone else. in fact I used another news server and on
aus.politics it had 171 messages while the bigpond server only had 9."
Desk : "We have limited resources here and only handle E-Mail and
Internet" if you can use another "site" that is it".
Me : "I don't use a "site" I use a News Reader."
Desk : "You can ring this number 1800009243 for support, but you may have
to pay"
Me : "Is that your support?"
Desk : "Yes"

Rang the number and got "Welcome to GIZMO, how can we help?"
Me : "Do you handle reports that the bigpond news server is
malfunctioning?"
GIZMO : "What is a news server"
(After a quick description of News server and Usenet)
GIZMO : "Really sorry, but I don't know who you can contact a bigpond to
resolve your problem.

The only "contacts" I have are old ones, has anyone got others?

News Server?

Hey, that looks like my recollection of Ubon RTAF, Thailand
during monsoon season! (1966/1967)
