About MATT WATTS...
Matt Watts has a considerable presence on the Internet for someone who loathes computers. He has written an e-mail to Strongbad and enjoys hijacking any ABC.net.au forum. Matt is also single-handedly responsible for shutting down the Natasha Stott-Despoja public discussion board from her fan site back in 1999 :)
Matt grew up in Sydney, Australia, and has recently moved to Canberra for work. He has never, ever been in a Turkish prison - never.
