Oh that would be silly now wouldn't it? If Jeff wants another account
that's his business, but people don't normally expect that you're a
spokesman for a company just because you work there. Jeff even has,
like most of us, a disclaimer in his sig saying he doesn't speak for
the company. Anyone that assumes otherwise is surely a newbie to the
net, and just like most bizarre assumptions that newbies make we'll
gently correct them, and they'll learn.

p.s. was sameer's post a spam? <snicker;> Please don't take this line
seriously, it was said with tongue definately in cheek.
