Three days ago I received this PM
Dear Mr Prew,
I would like to be considered for 'the well' please.
I think i could combine low profanity humour with serious answers and would answers all questions in depth.
Yours sincerely,
Ben MayhewThis caused me much consternation. I was faced with a tough choice. Either
a) avoid replying for three days and then be open and honest and say "no thanks Ben, you're hopeless"
or
b) reply immediately saying "thank you for your interest we'll put you on the list to do one" and then hope he forgets
I went, lily-livered for b) and replied to the PM
Imagine my complete surprise when another PM arrives from Ben today saying the original PM was a wind up and he knew nothing about it.
Whilst I am of of course immensely relieved that we can now be spared tales of "heads or tails for 10p rollz" it does not amuse me that the japesters placed me, a busy moderator and all-round nice guy incapable of saying "no" in a tough position. Don't you know who I am?
Please don't hijack accounts to send PMs to mods purporting to be serious, nothing good will come of it.
that goes for the people masquerading as M3Boy recently too.
Cheers!
