Because of the low lifes like you and Frank who would try to use the
information to denigrate me, of course. Would you post where you work,
your boss' name and your name? Of course, with all the time you're
posting, it's doubtful you have a job.

They're not that big but I make enough to live very comfortably, thank
you very much. As I have told you before, you won't see me posting in
the morning, Spain time. The same is true for most of the afternoon. In
fact, a client is coming up to see me right now and I won't be posting
for hours.
