    Bookie, give it a try! It's all good job application/interview experience anyway, and I'm sure you would be great at it.

    Go for it. You've run a business for 23 years, and being a Registrar is not the career for the testosterone fuelled - is it?

    Israel in 4BC had no mass communication

    Didn't need it - there were a lot less people then. Israel today is still a tiny nation. There are more Jews in New York, than in Israel.
