I get a lot of messages from people saying how much they like the blog, or saying thanks for making things available for download. Statistically, out of every 100 positive messages, I might get one nasty one.<\/p>\n
As I have said before, this is MY blog, and people don\u2019t have to read it. If they choose to do so and don\u2019t like what they see, then that\u2019s just tough.<\/strong><\/p>\n The retired idiot (ex-ADI) who wrote to me recently, no doubt having just learned how to use the internet, should bear that in mind. His comment about the DSA is exactly what gets me going when current ADIs open their mouths:<\/p>\n \u2026if there was any moaning (e.g. in the test centre), it was generally about common themes (e.g. DSA directives).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Moaning about \u201cDSA directives\u201d is all<\/strong> they do. And by \u201cDSA directive\u201d, translate as \u201ceverything the DSA does\u201d. And the irony seems to be totally lost on this latest jackass – this is the very topic I focus on in the blog!<\/p>\n I\u2019ve also noticed that these sad acts either use obviously false email addresses when they fill in the Contact Form, or – as was the case with the tosspot I\u2019ve mentioned here, who was from Nottingham – clearly don\u2019t know how to type their email address properly in the first place. There\u2019s nothing worse than asking someone their email address, only for them to respond \u201cOh. It\u2019s, um\u2026 something like\u2026 P\u2026 ummm\u2026 E\u2026 No. Hold on\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Incredibly, we used to get people phoning tech support who were like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I get a lot of messages from people saying how much they like the blog, or saying thanks for making things available for download.
