Were waiting?
Who you and your shadow account.
BTW ,if its good enough for the Gold Miners to use then,its good enough for them to use it now.
I am involved in a private medium mining operation,20 minutes south of Ballarat.
Anyway l will use any avatar l want ,if it's considered offensive lm sure the Mods will tell me.
Firstly, what shadow account? You are jumping at shadows - I have no such thing.
So you have a job involved with a company seeking gold. Fine, but the Southern Cross came to represent the cause of oppressed miners objecting to their exploitation by the very narrow, land-owning Anglo elite that controlled government and power (as Snake said it well - 'the Imperial essentially British Government of the 1850s. The rebels were fighting for the vote. Against taxation without representation., seeking democratic representation').
It became so significant in our history as to be transferred to our national flag, in juxtaposition to the Union Jack ironically.
Not sure that's what you stand for on PRE, or the relevance myself. But, due to thousands of people that have gone before us, we are lucky enough to live in a democracy, so it's your choice.
But just strikes me as inappropriate. It's a symbol much bigger than random individuals or dodgy political groups organisations IMO.
