A lot more sense than yours do Declan. You kill file me because I make your
head hurt (it's called thinking).

It's a pity you spend all that time kill-filing me. Then you would have
found out this is *exactly* the position I hold.
But hell, fair representation from a reporter for hire? Not likely so it
isn't surprising regarding your reactions or views.

Oh, and if you hadn't noticed from my forwards, they include enough
paragraphs (usualy no more than 4) as well as the URL (usualy as the first
3-4 lines of the submission).
You really shouldn't lie like that, it might effect your professional
performance.
