Turcaud is a Frenchman who did a lot of prospecting in WA years ago.

He claims that he found the huge Telfer gold deposit. He also claims that
BHP and others started mining Telfer and gave him no money nor recognition.

I don't know what the truth is. A book has been written on the saga.

The bigpond server is porked.
It is only propagating posts from bigpond customers to bigpond customers.
no one else on usenet gets posts.
I am not phoning any more after 1 hour yesterday and 40 min today, plus a
stupid answer to an e-mail :
