No profanity, moderate condescension. Maybe i will not kill this nym immediately. Then again, maybe i will kill it just after this post.

It could be an insult to the vehicle, but if you do a thorough job towing the hook an whatever for a thousand miles or any evidence left is mighty hard to find.

I use a universal nym filter ;-)

The latest versions of Skype insert "requests" straight into your contacts list... not that NymNoNuts would know.

So I just go "off-line" until I get an E-mail request from a known entity.

Turns out I'm not the only one complaining. A chip design client pointed me to a Skype conference, suggesting go back to v3.8

v4.0 has been a negative improvement to Skype, especially the separate call progress window which pops up during a call. v3.8 was adequate for most users. There is a web page where you can still download the older version. However, be sure to uncheck the box in Options to install new versions or you'll be back to v4.0 shortly. I had the install new versions turned off and it still eventually installed 4.0. Skype is a very pushy outfit.

All the more reason to dump the undeserving twits.

At a moments' reflection it is beginning to sound like spammers "(mass marketers)" are flapping a bunch of green at them.
