Find one of my blog posts. Notice that what I wrote about is no longer true (like a service that no longer works). Ignore the fact that there were other posts indicating that it no longer worked. Post 4 comments asking for help. Mail my personal e-mail address asking for help. Twice. With two different subject lines. Then mail my work account with another one.

Arun, welcome to my kill file.

UPDATE: Oh, you can also make it worse by posting here with a lame excuse.

Try answering e-mails to a public address of a popular company for a while. Like webmaster@mysql.com for example. After a while you'd rank the above comment as "pretty okay" :)

Possibly this is something new called "blog stocking".. You're a trendsetter! Hopefully this guy will not wait out side your work to ask you something.

clearly the next step is not waiting outside work, but calling you at work, followed by calling at home....

That personal info should probably be removed. Just because he didn't ask the question as we'd anticipate he'd ask, doesn't mean he deserves to have his personal information publicly displayed.

Just because someone is asking an irritating question doesn't mean their personal info should be published. I noticed it was hypocritically posted by someone who doesn't want to reveal their own identity.

How about snipping it out Jeremy?

Hmm. I must have typed in "slashdot.org" by mistake...

How about comment moderation, Z? :)

It's a newsgroup post, meaning he fully intended the information go public. ;)
