So, imagine one at 8 in the morning who didn't even know who the hell was Mr. X and where he was and what he might have been doing and received such calls. He didn't even start the phrase with "Good morning". But the amazing thing is that he was always saying the same sentence over and over, for years!! Cheers, Flavio Hahaha,

I often think people come to me because they can't be bother to fill out all the information in an SR on Metalink. Instead, they type a meaningless statement that requires you to have been in their office with them for the last 30 minutes to understand the context. Then, when you ask for more information they get shirty, or repeat the previous question with a few extra "Please" and "Urgent" exclamations for good measure. Cool wet grass, cool wet grass... :) Cheers Tim... Welcome to my world!
