Sadly, ESET’s former Agony-Aunt-in-Residence Ms Letitia Teaspoon has now left her employment at ESET. Well, there’s an awful lot of churn in the AV business these days.
The good news, however, is that she has deigned to contribute some words of wisdom to the Small Blue-Green World blogging empire, though any suggestion that she will play Rebekah Brooks to my Rupert Murdoch is merely malicious gossip.
Over to you, Letitia.
(1)
Dear Mumbai Escorts, thank you for your kind words about Mr. Harley’s post about SEO poisoning exploiting last year’s Japanese earthquake. However, if you regard that information as “gorgeous”, that poses some serious questions about the attractions of your escort service.
(2)
Dear Melida, thank you for your interesting observations on car insurance. We’re not sure how they fit into a discussion on DNS settings, though, and I’m afraid you probably can’t pay for car insurance with World of Warcraft gold. Still, these days, who knows?
(3)
Dear Shop On Line, we’re delighted to hear that you are subscribing to our augment and even you fulfillment our access consistently fast. But are you sure you should be smoking quite so much of whatever is in that roll-up?

Dear {Best Automatic Pool Cleaners|Best Pool Cleaners|Pool Cleaners|Pool Cleaners Reviews|Best Pool Cleaners Reviews|Best Automatic Pool Cleaners Reviews|Aquabot Turbo T4RC Robotic Pool Cleaner with Remote Control Review| Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 F5 Automatic Poo, it was worth getting to the end of your “name” to see the frank confession at the end of what it is you’re actually peddling.

Dear public domain, yes we do have an email subscription link, cunningly disguised as an email subscription link inconspicuously placed at the top right of each blog post. If we find a comment spammer offering good deals on reading spectacles, we’ll be sure to put you in touch with each other.

Dear atarax online without prescription, I agree, Haiti help resources was a big story. However, that was two years ago.
(7)
On a related note, thank you bigwli moderator for adding me to your bigwli Yahoo! group. I’m a little worried, though, that I may not qualify on gender grounds.
Ah well, time for some tea.
Thank you, Letitia.
I hope the hormone treatment is going well. I’ll see you in the teashop later.
