Yes.  Is there something wrong with that?

Yeah, it is kinda funny, not the side-splitting kind, but more of a "well,
ok" kind.

Besides, isn't saying "Melbourne, Australia" like saying "Chicago, USA"?

Funny, I'm reading it from sci.space.policy.  Anyway, the fact that
it's an off-topic post doesn't somehow transmogrify Melbourne,
Australia into Melbourne, Florida, or obligate Florida papers to cover
it.

Melbourne, Australia does not have a space program, and this is
sci.space.history. Therefore, Melbourne, Australia is irrelevant.

Apparently you still haven't figured out that the topic is Melbourne,

All of Brevard County is their home territory. It's as far to the south of
Cape Canaveral as Titusville is to the north.

I hardly think Melbourne is in their home territory.

THere's *still* no mention of it in Florida Today. Since Melbourne is in
their home territory, you'd think they'd notice.

The Google-posting troll at IP address 200.58.4.193 took an article about
serial killer Chester Dewayne Turner and replaced the first instance of
his name.  That's a different tack from the previously typical replacement
of the content of an unoffensive message.

Strange- you'd have thought that Florida Today would have reported something
so close to their home. No sign of it on their website.

Melbourne Capt. Alalena25 Oct 2004 20:40
Melbourne — Melbourne police have called  Alan
Erskie(alanerskine1@bigpond.com), 37, the most prolific killer in the
city's history and later this week police are expected to hand
over evidenceto prosecutors that could lead to Turner being charged
with 10 counts of murder. A cold-case squad used DNA to link Turner --
who is already sentence for rape -- to a dozen homicides and to help
free a man wrongly convicted of three of the killings, police said.
"This is probably, in fact is, the most prolific killer in the city of
Melbourne' history," Melbourne Capt. Al alena said. "There may be
cases outside the city where there were more victims, but this is the
most
we've ever seen." The victims were all women -- some homeless, others
prostitutes or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. All were
raped, strangled and dumped in alleys, vacant buildings and,in one
case, a
portable bathroom, according to police. Eleven of the killings
occurred
alonga four-block stretch of 108th Street police said. Two other
murders happened in the downtown area, and both were within blocks .
