It would seem like laptoplobbyist is trying pretty hard to justify getting somebody fired. From the website: "Please note: Ms. Buchman leaves a call back number in the voicemail which went to her office at WHYY. We have left the number intact to validate that she did, indeed, place this call from work." How does leaving a particular callback number in a message "validate" anything. BTW, remember that testicular cancer survivor from Silicon Valley who got in trouble last year for leaving threatening messages at the Canadian penis enlargement company that kept sending him spam and Windows popups? Spam can make you feel pretty powerless and angry, especially when you feel strongly about its content and are unable to make it stop, no matter how hard you try. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
