Well, when I searched for E.A. it showed that byb was the first to use it on the board.

to tsuwm and faldage: do you now agree that we have a poltergiest, and are merely questioning who it may be?
And please note that as a careful lawyer I listed facts but took pains not to "accuse" -- yet. It would of course be premature to conclude until all had opportunity to review, critique and/or supplement the evidence presented. It would be good to see all facts that can best identify the culprit(s).
Have you any other facts to point to?
-------------------
Jazzo, our anagramic poster actually used [EA] and [E.A.], and I suspect you searched only the letters, without the brackets. [byw, BYB's use was quite different, was referring to Edgar Allen Poe.]
-------------------
For convenience, I am cross-linking this back into the previous discussion.

C'mon, TEd! I can see the pun around the word "paralipsis" from a mile away... I just can't make out the words from here!

Working for an itty-bitty telco as I do, it was interesting to note your post Max, to whit: Telecom NZ is privately, not state, owned. It is also widely loathed and resented here as the bully-boy monopolist, making very healty(sic) profits at the expense of its customers, and cynically crushing attempts at establishing real competition. It is held in the same sort of esteem that M$ is in the software world. I supect that most NZers are simply wishing that Telecom had so addressed them. (I know I am)Substitute Telecom for Telstra (the O$$ie equivalent) and you've got the situation here. Just add a bit of spin to what seems to be a widespread impression about monopolistic telco's and you have the key ingredient to a sales pitch! I never fail to mention in my opening remarks to prospective clients that we are a competitor to Telstra. You can just see them thinking, "I hate those arrogant bastards  , maybe these blokes are one way of not having to use Telstra anymore". Does anybody out there actually like their telephone service provider? (Our customers are excluded from this survey!)stales

Sure, I like Bell Canada. The service is good and the long distance rates are o.k. You can get different packages depending upons your use.
I'm sure there are some secondary companies that can offer you a savings of a dollar or so on long distance calls but generally you wind up having to dial some twelve numbers in addition to your usual.
I'm sure there are some people who have had a hard time with them but with 27 million people it's bound to happen.
