Kyt is a bit shady
Excellent. Now one can search with initials and surnames, and get accurate results!! However, there are worrying hints that it may not remain free - or am I just being paranoid?

Cheers Owen

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:

I fully agree. A great improvement.

It is however a bit strange that when searching on a phrase including initilials A or S then these are igonored.
