RE: UKNM: Tell me it's not SPAM

I think you are kinda missing the point here - and most likely will remain

as you openly admit - poor in both salary and capability!


Having spent the last 30 minutes deleting the 153 spam messages I had in my

Hotmail box (not sure what's going on there and thereby maybe begins another

thread?) ) please be advised that Spam should never be encouraged, no matter

how little - because as I have stated - it's not just you, its the other 152

pratts who seem to believe that they have the right to waste my time with

their prattle.


Now if you had any business acumen, you would understand exactly what your

hourly value is, both to yourself and your company. I don't know how this

would work for you, but personally, 30 minutes of my time is

expensive.....have greater respect for yourself and those that you are

trying to sell to !!


Best
