I've know many entrepreneurs who would break their own legs to have the talent Alan has.

Awww...I really don't know how to respond Sempu and Apache..., other than in the manner that you know I will.

From my perspective you don't know how humbling it has been to have so many people place their trust in me and send video of themselves to someone they have never met. But that is what everyone did and I feel so honoured to have been given that trust.

You know, I just feel like we have all brought something to the table, which ever Avatar related forum we are on. Spemu, you have given people hope and guidance during their dark days of PAD. Apache you have has bought your translating skills to the table and hey we have a Spanish verion of Our Only Home. Not only that, there will be a Russian one to thanks to you as well. There is a young lad on AF who has translated it into Italian over the weekend too. There are so many more who have given of their time and abilities, whatever they be.

So I am just so grateful to be in the company of great people from around the world and be able to call them my friends. An absolute honour ma aysmukan sì aysmuke.

Irayo Sempu and Apache for your kind words. I really do appreciate them. You are great people too.

Yeah it is quite a list of places people have downloaded our film. Not sure if I mentioned that the list was just for the last 12 months. I think the 'grand' total is close to 4000.

A really interesting thing I found out last year was that there had been 10 downloads in Los Angeles... Now I know it is highly unlikely, but it would be just great to think that someone connected with the making of Avatar might had downloaded our film. But I guess we will never know.

What this Podomatic thing does, maybe they won't need a DVD if it works? What they want is a copy to play the video - as I understand - during a lecture of "Nature is our only home" cycle. Or something.

Ah Podomatic, right, well...you see...in order for people to be able to download the video from iTunes it has to be stored somewhere. As it happens I got shown www.podomatic.com. And so that is where it is stored besides on YouTube.

So it can be downloaded from iTunes. The other OOH we have on iTunes is an App for the iPhone and other i-thingies! This was done by Unil Makto from AF who pulled together a quiz with the video embedded into the app. Don't ask me how, he's a clever bloke!

Anyway, I can quite happily do a DVD/Bluray for you, which will be better picture quality.

Yeah, you're right. At the end of the day, we do all have a responsibility to how we treat our home. It's just that not everyone sees that - yet... Although maybe peoples eye's are beginning to be opened.

Irayo again for your kind words Oel ngati kameie...in Seattle - both of you .
