Dear Hocus Eye:
I consider them one and the same. Sarcasm can at times be subtle.
Very best,

Fear Gentlegreen:
You comments are bang on.
For the record, the IP address resolves to a bona fide USA one.I think 'bang on' is British slang. Have we worked out who this is yet?
Is that proxyproof? It's important to know he's genuine if we're going to act as Sponsor for a study into his product.For the record, the IP address resolves to a bona fide USA one.
It's not a proxy. I'm not going to discuss it any further because every poster has a right to privacy.Is that proxyproof?
Agreed.It's not a proxy. I'm not going to discuss it any further because every poster has a right to privacy.
Dear Jim,
I work in a senior management capacity at a major NHS teaching hospital that provides tertiary and specialist services for a population of over 3 million people. We are internationally known for our research activities.
Having gained BRU status, we are currently looking to increase our research profile still further. I would be interested in exploring the partnership possibilities with you.
In order to first verify your identity and credentials, I would be grateful if you could message me your full name, date of birth, postal address and mother's maiden name. These will be used to run background checks and register the potential for a research relationship with the NIHR.
Kind regards,
Corax

Dear Jim,Dear Corax:
We would be interested in developing a collaborative research relationship with your organization.
Not in my best interests to provide you with the requested information in an open forum available for the world to see.
Please provide me with links to your teaching hospital, the research that has been conducted in the past, how the hospital is funded, your immediate superior and the research division in which you work.
Need to qualify your credentials first. Please provide me with you full name and the position you hold at the hospital. You can email me directly at info@themedicinewheelproject.com. Once completed to our satisfaction, we can then communicate outside of this forum.
Very best,
Jim
For goodness sake Jim, seriously?
You've now supplied me with your:
All on the back of me making three posts explaining why I needed them on a public internet message board full of people you don't know, based in a foreign (to you) country.
- work address
- home address
- date of birth
- telephone number
- mother's maiden name.
The information you've given me could be enough to commit identity fraud.
Fortunately, I'm not a criminal scumbag, and I'll simply be deleting the information. But Jim, honestly, take this a free piece of learning, and never do that again. Some of what I posted was true, but I made a fair bit of it up too. Anyone could have made the posts I have. Just because you're conversing with someone that you think is in the UK rather than Nigeria (notorious for online scammers) doesn't mean a thing. I could be lying and actually posting on here from Uzbekistan, and even if not, there are plenty of scammers in the western world too.
Dude, never give that kind of information out so easily.
I recommend that you take a look at the advice on CIFAS (UK fraud prevention service, but the advice is equally applicable to the US).
For your own sake, don't be so naive about handing out your personal details.
Best of luck,
Corax.
Dont you have anyone whatsoever over here? Do you really need a public forum like this to learn things about the UK? Give me 100 quid and I'll tell you all you need to know about what munchies we eat and how we roll our joints or whatever it is you're trying to figure out by posting here.
Surely it only requires one point of view - the one that agrees new supporting legislation is needed?
Dear Jim,
How astute are you, do you consider that U75 is generally for or against the legalisation of cannabis?
Dear Corax:
Took a calculated chance on you. Wanted everyone, through you, to understand that we are for real and that (i) what we have been talking about over the last few days is real; and (ii) it is our hope that it will eventually be successful. We have along way to go but every successful journey starts with a tentative well-placed step. We have taken that step and will follow the path that is before us.
Very best,
Jim
I'm really curious to know who recommended this site.
I'd also like to know if Jim has consumed any of the foodstuffs I recommended for a taste of Scotland
Hell no. I'm gob-smacked to be honest.You weren't expecting him to actually do it... were you?
That's the problem Jim, it was an incredibly poor calculation, and a mistake that the average net-savvy 14 year old wouldn't make. If your business is going to prosper, one can only hope that your judgement is usually better than that.
