Does the hottest love truly have the coldest end, and is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all? Steve Tucker might have the answers to these questions, but Henry David Thoreau probably answers it best with: 'There is no remedy for love but to love more'.

A ton of virtual bricks fell onto Steve Tucker yesterday, the Canberra public servant whose quest to find love took a wrong turn through the Department of Immigration and Citizenship's (DIAC) email system and into viral email infamy.

While Mr Tucker's job is reportedly safe, his face, email address, work address and work phone number were splashed onto screens across the nation, and probably across the world.

His actions have at least brought Australia's immigration department some relatively positive publicity, what with all of the immigration kerfuffles that have been dominating news bulletins over the past few months, putting the words 'love' and 'department of immigration' into the same sentence for the first time in'¦ well'¦ possibly ever.

With all the unwanted and self-inflicted attention Mr Tucker has received, from his colleagues, friends, journalists and superiors, Mr Tucker is likely tuckered out, possibly wishing he'd never suckered himself into gaining up so much courage as he did when he stated:

'I have struggled to write and send this message. It has taken all of my willpower to do so.

'Life is too short for regret. This phrase I know you all can identify with.

'Have an awesome Monday.'

Sadly, the news has come that Olivia is apparently not interested in Mr Tucker, which has come from the Herald Sun.

Ms Olivia is quoted as saying she 'wants to be left alone', and 'doesn't even remember' meeting the man does not bode well for any future relationship, let alone any proper first date.

And why wouldn't Ms Olivia feel this way?
