Re: ITeC
I cut my teeth at the Fylde Coast ITeC. YTS placements on £27 per week didn't seem too bad back then, especially when compared to the alternatives...ie going to sea or going to war!
30 years later and I'm still stuck in the IT game, and thankfully earning more than £27 per week!

'kin users!!
Either way, if the users hit "reply" and replied to a large DL or hit "reply all" - the bloody users need to be educated, not just in the correct use of "reply" and "reply all" but also on how to identify a message that does not require any response at all!!! Users are too eager in responding to these type of mistakes; "Take me off this list now!!", "Why am I receiving this????", "Do you know you just interrupted me drinking my fifth designer cup of coffee this morning??? - take me off this list at once you cants!"
Simply ignoring the message and then deleting it not only shows you have a brain cell but also prevents your organisations dirty laundry being broadcast all over the facking internet!!!
