    Any idea what that means Denny?
    Nope. I gave up on it after the first bit which seemed utter rot to me.

    I do. I think fast, I type fast.

    Why does it take you half an hour to type a sentence?

    Again, that is totally incorrect and displays your considerable ignorance still further.

    I write most of the time, as well as contract in a change management capacity. I also type bloody fast and know what I want I want to write so I don't labour that long over these posts trying to think and research what I want to say and then typing it all out using only two fingers.

    That long 'Helpful Advice' post was mainly cut and paste from previous writing and the rest typed at lightening speed. It took about 15 minutes in total.

    I'm not called trigger fingers for nothing.

    Read my past posts. There's plenty of examples on these. My 'helpful advice' thread which effectively makes me the Anna Raeburn of contracting wisdom also alludes to the issues I find so reprehensible from clients and recruiters.

    Oh, I forgot. You are probably incapable of gaining insights from such a long post, which is probably a struggle for someone of your inferior intellect. Perhaps when you've managed to read the entire Janet and John series unaided by mummy or teacher you might be able to do this yourself in good time.

    By the way, 'alludes' means 'makes reference to' in case you didn't know.

    Now I know that I am not very bright, and that obviously I am getting ripped off by agents. However I like to think that I am pretty streetwise and I reckon that I can head off agency/client problems at the pass.

    I may be wrong but someone of your intellect will no doubt be able to offer me enlightenment. After all we should both be on the same side.
