AREN'T JEDI SUPPOSED TO BE CELIBATE?:

The truth behind that email (Sam de Brito, December 5, 2010, Sydney Morning Herald)

IT'S been quite a month for ''the Love Jedi'' aka Steve Tucker.

He's the Canberra public servant whose life went viral and prompted national headlines after he sent an email to 4000 colleagues searching for a mystery woman named Olivia.

Despite being labelled ''lovelorn'', ''broken-hearted'' and ''a stalker'' in the media, and with a fake Olivia even calling a radio station to humiliatingly declare she didn't remember Mr Tucker, the Department of Immigration trouble-shooter remained silent.

That is until last week, when Mr Tucker, 30, sent a raw and inspiring email to this reporter, which brought tears to many eyes after its author consented to its publication on my smh.com.au blog, All Men Are Liars.

Mr Tucker revealed himself to be suffering from cerebral palsy and that he actually did find Olivia, except she was already seeing someone.
