Has anyone thought that these OT questions and endless rambling threads
may be an act of sabotage? What better way to mess up a support list
than to deluge it with repeated questions that are OT or easily found
else where.
I am reminded of an old saying:
Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.
Of course there is also the saying:
Don't ascribe to cunning that which can be relegated to stupidity and
ignorance.
