Open Letter to Menelaus

[cojak]

Menelaus has been posting the same way that you'd check for poison.

Stage 1: lurk to get the lie of the land.

Stage 2: respond to others posts occasionally in Business/Accounts forums to see how it goes and let the forum know that he around. Do this for a few weeks to let the system get used to him...

Stage 3: Move to General. Respond to innocuous threads with non-controversial posts. Start gradually to see if flaming occurs. If it does return to stage 1 or 2 (depending on the heat of said flame). If no serious response to 3, Continue to post.

Stage 4: Start own posts in General, allow people to take the p1ss without rancour Start gradually to see if flaming occurs. If it does return to stage 1, 2 or 3 (depending on the heat of said flame). If no serious response to 4, consider oneself 'rehabilitated'.

Some of us have been watching the pattern emerging...

I suspect he might return to 1 for a little while (but return before the Spring Bash).

I know...

Just think how productive I'd be if I was in a real job!

I actually found her a bit odd personally also, if it was indeed the wife. Why find a forum and then post messages re: her hubby when nobody knew her?

I guess people just need a bit of human contact, even if it is a stranger on a forum
