<p>RT thank you mate. In the back of a tuk tuk at the moment in Mai. Leaving for Aus in the morning. It had been a blast. Love Thailand with my Little Wolverine. Been to the Rotary Convention in Bangkok with 36000 Rotarians. Home to complete a large hall for the Steiner School in Gosford. My team has done a great job in our absense. This tik tuk is vety bumby and it is hot and humid here. Love the Thai people they can teach us what.sustainable means. So I join uou RT in your assesment add 66 million Thais to the list. BTW the Thai girls are HOT.</p>

I'd say that aside from the First World NatBuilders who are members of the associations mentioned by His High-ness and others, natural building is quite likely practised by most persons living outside of major urban centres world-wide and whose annual incomes are at or below subsistence level.<br>
<br>
As a wild-ass guess, I'd peg that number at somewhere between 1 and 3 billion people.<br>
<br>
That's BIG. Eh ? (I'd wager that the UN would have real good numbers on this.)<br>
<br>
And speaking of big numbers, I must apologise to el Lupo (aka The Straw Wolf, Huffy, John Glassford) for letting his birthday (May 11 ?) slip by again (as I did last year) without my giving him a digital slap on the back.<br>
<br>
If it was el Lupo's 68th birthday this year, then I am pleased to say that 68 is a very auspicious number... not as good as 88 mind you, but I'm making a note right now to not let that one slip by, by crikey. (I think that's Australian for "youbetcha"<br>
