I never said that I've been personally affected by this. I've been employed by the same firm for close to 25 years.
I apologise, but I thought I had thouroghly checked this thread for you, and found no reason for anyone to reply to you regarding the topic.
I usually ping another poster, if I mention them in my post.
Since I often employ massive doses of sarcasm, it often seems we get pinged to some threads we have no particular knowledge of, due to our poster names.
Sorry you were disturbed.
