Spam emails: The preferred method of getting your questions moved to the head of the line when URGENT isn't working for you. I'm not even the target of the emails and I find that mildly annoying.

It's Monday, and I'm about to bury my head in some code again. Lynn, can I borrow your desert?

P.S. You're welcome, Gail. I will even give you the publication rights to it if you want. 😉

Yeah, I desperately wanted to descend on that little quip with knees, elbows & both hands but decided it'd be just a little over the top.

Ha! I didn't even notice the name change. I saw the bio-hazard symbol and knew who it was.

Maybe he is trying to go into hiding by changing his Nom de plume.

He needs to write a hundred lines...

Now if they had said "Help me with this, please, Expert." that would have been another matter entirely. 😉
Maybe just a extra 2 or 3 seconds before she hit the shift delete! 😉
And that would be to see if they also said: "Please hurry"?

Extremely Urgent my Exam is only 1hr today.
