>>Use of these is getting worse. Some examples, not from real life, but typical of what I've experienced/heard a lot lately:
>>
>>"Hi Mr McDonnell. I was wondering if our offer has reached yourself yet."
>>"Could you manage to make payment to ourselves by the end of the week."
>>"We're sending the order to yourselves direct."
>>"There's just myself and yourself here."

>Don't you just love those? In fact, a couple of my friends were talking to myself about this just the other day. ;)


Here's a sample from today's "So - what was the reason?" thread. It's alright. They won't know that we're talking about them because they obviously haven't been following this thread.

>A few chose to celebrate....no more exchanges between you and myself that could have further benefited people (as well as ourselves)....and some public speculation that I might have been JVP....and only murky replies from Fournier that kept the door of suspicion open.
>
>...and you're saying that I'm acting like an ass??????

>Well, I wasn't JVP, and I honestly don't know what rule I broke. Fournier has already demonstrated his views on when he himself wants an explanation (last fall with Most Valuable Professional and Universal Thread relationships)....so given the speculation last spring, I goddamn well deserve an explanation, and I think others do as well.

>I haven't changed one bit. I'm going to keep this up until Forunier replies, or bans me again. I'd rather have him be a man and say he made a mistake. There's been speculation that I might take some kind of action, and that's why MF won't say a word. Let me say this now...I hate about 99% of lawyers, and I have zero interest in any action - other than hearing the truth.

Are you a clone of Naomi, or is it the other way aound? No wait, clones must, by default, have the same sex. So you must be twins. Or at least you are equally stubborn and/or narrowminded when you feel injustice has been done to yourself. I hope you behave equally when the injustice is against other people.
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
