NO SPAM

Do you know what software this blog is running? There has to be a way to issue a visual challenge to avoid spam, instead of your current method.

Those of you who look to Ole Bob for Wisdom have a serious problem. That problem has a name:

Bob

Al assumes that I know about computers.

Thanks, Al.

Let me disillusion you. This whole whitakeronline was set up by a succession of brilliant people, each of whem was a computer expert and each of whom decided I had a lot to say. So far, so good. In fact, so far so flattering. They convinced me that I was not just an old guy raising hell but a peson who has wisdom to impart.

The downside of this is that, in the real world, when I have any problem with whitakeronline I call Kelso who then calls my former team in Tennessee. This whole thing is so complicated by now that I am afraid to touch it.

I could get you in touch with Kelso and you two could work out something to stop the spam.

This sounds dependent, doesn’t it?

I can give everybody a good lesson here. I spent my career in management. Another word for management is “dependency.” A good manager is someone who says, up front, that he can’t do it all. He makes it perfectly clear to the people he depends on that they are the essentials.

I would be happy to get you in touch with Kelso. You two could do the job. I can’t.

Bob is not a tough guy. Bob needs your help.

Pathetic, isn’t it?
