I just beat ya to the goalpost, Joe. :U

BTW, obviously I reckon it's you, too... Germaine (Greer), last letter is 'e,' repeated, gives "join greer e." Simple. :roll:

Aha! I must've got sidetracked by thinking last month was "mai" in French. Didn't even register "Germaine Greer." Whoever write the cryptic puzzles in the Sydney Morning Herald must be some of the most devious sods in creation.
