I have downloaded various tools/articles from sites such as this and in many cases I have had salesmen phoning up within the hour trying to sell me stuff. I now pick a company name out of the air - or something I've seen in the paper.

I'm an optoholic - my glass is always half full of vodka.

I once had to download some software to try, and the form required company name and phone number. As I didn't know our phone number (I've never phoned it) I scrolled through a few emails until I found an internal once with a phone number at the bottom and used that.
What I hadn't understood was that the email I used was from one of the managers who had her own direct number, I was expecting the switchboard to field any calls that came in.
For the rest of the week she effectively became my secretary until I was able to persuade them to leave us alone.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Just put your own name in the Company field then. Or something crap. Granted, it is stupid requirement, but it's similar to nearly every personal details form I see asking for bloody "Title". "Duke of Geekdom", "Barron of BDD", etc. are some I might enter if I wasn't limited to Mr. Mrs. etc. What use is that to anyone except, say, a doctor, and even then only in work and academia?

Event he is with mindfire - you can't be that cruel!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I wish meetings at work would be handled that way: don't send me meeting invitations; just list them somewhere that I don't look.

These spams were too sophisticated for mindfire me think (all I saw from them was copy-paste until now)...

I know what you mean, but...they are organised! One spam posts the question, and another immediately follows up with a spam answer to remove it from the unanswered queue! (and that makes it slower to delete, as I have to move the mouse rather than just use the keyboard and mouse button).
B*st*rds.

A technical question: I have the daily amount of 25 reports of members or messages. It is clear that after that I will not get any reputation points and it's fine with me, but do my reports still count in the kicking counters?
