    Good God! What afternoon did that happen, and what had they been snorting?

      kontracta Matt has been with us for 4 months and managed a few hundred posts. Almost all of these have been in The Counting Thread and Word Associations threads; there have been about 10 real posts.

      The real purpose of the account is keep posting the .sig "I'll be right back after a message from my sponsors here and here" which contains two advertising links:
      • www-kontracta-com (an accountancy firm called MPC Financial Consulting Ltd) and
      • www-soletraderaccountants-com (an accountancy firm also called MPC Financial Consulting Ltd).

      Now that is blatantly against the T&Cs and others have been stopped from doing that, and accountants are usually expected to identify themselves e.g. Matt@MPC_Financial.

      But what really, really, really niggles me is that his posting bot that posts to The Counting Thread invariably gets the number wrong and that seriously offends my OCD tendencies.

      It must be a posting bot because he's an accountant so he cannot possibly be such an utter innumerate feckwit that he can't even increment a number and get it wrong so often, Shirley?

      So, FFS, can't something be done about his broken posting bot? There must be loads of free macro software
      that could do a better job. Presumably such things are used in testing these days so there must be a few about.

      Any recommendations for him?
      If anyone had bothered reporting him we'd have dealt with him earlier.

        Eh?

          You could always just have tried ignoring him, or not bothering to click on his adverts?
