Well there's still something useful here - the expansion of VEIS. Now when a post appears that we aren't sure of, without actually calling it spam, we can ask "Does anyone know if this is an example of VEIS?" or something to that effect.

Heh! That'll work perfectly where it definitely IS a very easily identified spam - and would be as funny as when the spam is posted as a faux question.

I deleted the link in the posters profile (actually did that yesterday). Unfortunately though you all seem to have had fun with this one so adverse to deleting it or even banning the poster as always need to give people a chance to defend themselves. I can move it all except the original question to a new thread but as the links gone probably little point in tthat now.
As for dumbest post of the week... We seem to be picking up quite a lot of business owners who don't want to pay for an accountant. We also seem to have a lot of newbies who make one post and are then never heard from again which I know myself from past experience can be frustrating when one has taken the time to construct a well considered response... When you are hit with that just consider it from the perspective of all the people who need to know who didn't ask the question.
All in all, a funny old week with cheeky posts, dumb posts, thinly disguised marketing and one poster that seemed oblivious to the fact that she was acting illegally. But amongst them, as always, there are serious posts where you guys and gals never fail to do an amazing job of helping out your fellow professionals despite working with matchsticks keeping your eye's open due to the increasing demand for our services.
Big well done to all of you for sticking with it despite the dumb, the arrogant, the ungrateful, the invisible and at times the plain offensive responses that you get for your efforts.
