"Please" - now that's a sensible enough name you signed off with there, GUEST of 22 Aug 04 - 01:34 PM, and a sensible post too. Now if you could just put that in the little space at the top of your posts so that you came in as "GUEST,Please" your posts wouldn't be likely to be misconstrued as coming from someone else.

Sigh...

But agreed, the thing is to avoid being sucked into responding to people who are playing this kinds of games. Easier said than done, more especially when someone else has respoonded. When it's a name that's recognisable as a resident nasty, it's easy to avoid them; with nameless GUESTs it's harder, and the easiest thing is to skip them all on principle. But as "GUEST,Please" demonstrated just there, there are exceptions (touch wood).
