It's very refreshing for you to admit that you were less 'eagle-eyed'

than this old fella, Casual Observer'! <g>

 

I didn't wish to complicate matters by mentioning other pages displaying

incorrectly, but you are quite right.

 

It is not so much the web page errors which bother me. It is the

attitude of the individuals concerned. They purport to be IT

professionals yet they apparently failed to test their own web pages.

When I mentioned it, instead of saying "Crikey, we've slipped up there -

better fix it! Thanks Dave" they chose to slight me instead. Bad form

IMO!

 

The operation may be legitimate - there's no way for me to know.

However, Andrew Taylor is real, an Englishman like me but just happens

to live in Torronto.

 

It's just possible that a physical check could prevent another 9/11. Do

you still maintain that it's not worth caring about?

It's not worth worrying about. It's their website. If they don't want to

correct the problems with it, that's their perogative. I don't know how you

feel you can connect a website that doesn't display the same in two

different browsers to 9/11. Different browsers can often render objects

differently depending on the html standards they adhere too.

I'm not worried, 'Casual Observer' ......... but I have just been

watching an item on TV about the war in Afghanistan in which we have had

many soldiers killed and many more injured. This war is for real

.......... and there is an enemy; some may be close by, anywhere in the

world.

 

On the Internet there is absolutely no way of being certain whether folk

are friend or foe. Bad guys make mistakes - always. It's simply a case

of picking up the clues!

straight-forward questions - in real life as well as here! style_emoticons/

Many questions you ask, challenges really, are NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

 

Why do you keep winking at people - mostly male? Do you consider

yourself a pickup artist? Yes or No?

 

A simple question, straight forward and to the point. If you don't

answer it you "may" be considered a terrorist (by your own standards).

 

I really worry about YOU, being so unstable and all.

You are quite right about some queries being a subtle attempt to draw

reaction from those I perceive to be hiding something.

 

You are wrong when you say that it's none of my business. SECURITY IS

EVERYONE'S BUSINESS!

I'm simply a friendly kind of guy - I wink at ladies too!

NO

Why wouldn't I answer?

It's really comforting to know you care. Thank you! Oh yes .... <wink>
