I tried to put him on my ignore list but his posts keep coming thru. Must be the THC in his fingertips that allow him to bypass this option Buddy

The most approrpiate answer would be one that I got when I was checking a reference for a job applicant: "Who? Oh, HIM! Bloody useless. Listen mate, if you got anyone else going for the job, give it to them instead".

How come we don't have a "Tosser's List" option?

I wouldn't admit to knowing him. I don't like being associated with that kind of person.

Poll and altered behavior explanation.

As you may have noticed, I have changed my on-line strategy a bit. Funny stories, jokes, a poll here and there. I did this to get less clobbering and more appreciation. I thought it was a bit of an image problem, being Dutch and all. The clogs and the cheese were no big help either.

To my dismay, it back-fired. It has gotten to a point I can’t even open my e-mail box anymore because of the insulting e-mails. As soon as I log on, 25 PM’s (the maximum) pop-up. They all contain rants, advise to buzz off or take a hike and references to my Dutch heritage containing foul language.

The poll and other stuff was on advise of my PR manager. At this stage I’m forced to reveal his name to prevent more damage to my reputation. His name is JJ Irani. JJ, you are fired!

And you see all this as a negative thing?

A word of advice... never trust anyone who works in PR.

JJ's got them hidden away. He doesn't want to let anyone else near them. He wants them all to himself. He's selfish that way.

Not so fast Ed. Padi seems to have a flock under lock and key, and I know he's saving a few for BruceS.
