Dear 007,

So, you want me to send my wife, two doggies, and cat outside?

Regards,
John

Of recent months there has been a spate of posts from newcomers. Many have asked very basic questions that should have been answered by the employers. Indeed many of the questions can only be answered by the employers. This is probaly a reflection of the increase in dodgy deals from cowboy outfits and other contractors.

Some of the new posters seem to ignore the basic rules of courtesy that apply universally to human behaviour. If you want an answer to your questions - do not insult the oldtimers (including Cleopatra !)

Is being gratuitously offensive to strangers the way to get civil answers ?

Sound advice Cleo - not cynical at all. I got bitten on the a$$ by a recruiter and I wouldn't do it again.

Check this out... these guys are the "Real Mc Coy" when it comes down to plain cynical in doing business. I was (and still are) an architect for 30 years, and an ESL teacher for 20, this is a f...g nightmare I tell you!!...the likes of which I had not seen or dreamt since childhood...

Dear Candidates,

As you know we have been expecting to receive a batch of visa�s from EDEX. I have spoken to EDEX and they have advised me that this will now be ready tomorrow, unfortunately, they still have not confirmed which candidates will be getting visa�s tomorrow. I will send out another update to everyone tomorrow evening even if you don�t receive your visa.

Best Regards,

Azim

This is a distress call to all of you old (but of course, wiser and better!) timers from LoboJack... I have had a deep face-to-image talk with lots of people who used to be here for me... my mother, Franz Kafka, Herman Hesse, Lobsang Rampa, Octavio Paz, mi general Augusto C�sar Sandino, Janis J., and of course, Jimi the Loco. All of them, in my wide awake reflections turn to dreams, hinted that I should consult with the elders, the wise, los di�fanos, touched and yet unscathed by the scars time and experience bestow upon them.

Dear NCTBA,

"This is a distress call to all of you old (but of course, wiser and better!) timers from LoboJack . . ."

At last - you answered his call.

I have watched the 'old timers' on this forum constantly get stuck into newcomers and have a good laugh at their expense. It is the 'old timers' who lack common human courtesies. Cleo, not for once did I suspect that you give a damn what I do with my life - in which case keep your passive aggressive opinions to yourself. Just because you and your buddies (NCTBA, john slat and a few others) have clocked up few thousand posts doesn't make you experts or earn instant respect - because I-ve been on this forum on and off for over two years and most of the posts you guys put up are, at best, useless and your favourite past time is to pick on someone who dares criticise you.
I've gone over many of the threads lately and, you know what, most of the good and useful stuff has been put up by the newer posters. All you do is try to make people feel stupid for being mislead by, what usually are, very slick and experienced operators.
But you've appointed yourselves judge and jury on what is a 'valid' question for posters to ask and, if you deem the question stupid then, you and your buddies swoop on it and pick at the bones - just like you have now.
You behaved, along with other 'old timers', exactly in the manner I expected and you don't faze me. So, do go and turn off your computers and stop spreading your debris. Like all those who dish it out thick and fast, like you, it's clear you can't take it. There are worse things in this world than going to work in the KSA for $2000 - one of them is being on this forum for six years and clocking up thousands of posts. Get a life or get some manners!
