303790 2004-12-16 09:29:00 Why do people write viruses? Spray grafitti on walls? Stick fireworks in your letter box? There are those who know how to get on with life and then there are those who are stuck in a sad, bitter little world in which they are the star of a soap opera no one else is watching ....

303792 2004-12-16 20:40:00 I'm inclined to think we have a bogus POTUS. The tone of its very shortlived post was quite different to previous postings. Just some joker doing a windup but apparantly stealing other usernames as well.pressf1.pcworld.co.nz


And Alpha - I've stuck with my slightly cumbersome name cos I use it on other forums. The 001 was added some time ago when I tried to register for the New York Times only to find my name was already in use, even with 01. Weird huh?

So its just easier to be consistant than to change from forum to forum (in case my login gets lost)

By the way,is there a spell-check here?

That is, of course, a possibility. But POTUS - or at least someone claiming to be POTUS - also conducted an abusive email campaign against some users that PressF1 posters didn't see back when the old forum was running, so from my point of view the behaviour is not out of keeping with the previous personality. Whoever this particular idiot is, I don't think anyone should make excuses for them or tolerate their activities. If they behaved like this using voice over a phone they'd be subject to a Telecom and Police complaint.
