Once again, Alex is incorrect. This is my first post on this forum. But Alex is no stranger to unsubstantiated inaccuracies.

Go back under your rock please....:mad:

My point was to deny that I had been posting on here, as the Arch-anorak had claimed.
I am sorry that you could not understand that - let me know the names of the educational establishments you attended and I will write to the Government and demand their closure.

Just got a reply from my MP (Patrick Hall - Labour - Bedford) who said it will recieve attention.

Well thats OK then.

I see HW has popped up, unable to defend the technology so attacks people, what a nice man.

Greetings HamsterWheel. Welcome to the forum. I'm not sure what the relevance of your post is. This thread is about a company called Phorm, not a person called Alex.

I also don't see where the unsubstantiated inaccuracies are in the thread you linked to? I must admit I didn't read all of it though. It didn't really interest me.

@hamsterwheel
The only people on the net supporting phorm webwise are those who have a vested interest, either phorms PR crew or investors who have lost a lot of money on this BS.
Across the entire internet no-one has yet given a reasoned, valid argument as to why any USER would want this spyware.

Care to try?

Yes - he's a pinnacle of Society. It's good to see that he has embraced Phorm the way he has - his fall will be so much sweeter to witness :D

I am indeed pro Phorm. Whilst that may not sit well with you that's just tough.
If you are only able to see one side of the issue then you will fail miserably in your mission.
Phorm is only a means of getting more relevant adverts to internet users. Laudable as people's privacy concerns are, they simply don't stack up. As the ICO agree.

Try going and finding a proper issue to worry about - starving kids in Africa or mines or something.

:welcome: phpscott to the forum and thank you for posting leting us know you are with us. A lot of people will find it hard to get to London I will due to mobility waiting for a knee operation without it walking is difficult but my little bit is the use of BT shares been rattling the cage from that side.

I do really have a big complaint though thye keep going on about the infrastructure blah blah blah..

Well if money was diverted to updating this it wouldn't be such a bottleneck, after all are they not saying if workers go for high payraises the rate of inflatioin will spirall out of control.. Isn't a pay rise from £654,000 to €850,000 going too far bonuses in the hundred thousands. The fat cats get fatter make infaltion go high and the poor people suffer everytime......

Hello Phorm PR. See you are back in force today. Typical of yourselves spreading smoke and mirrors. Phorm is illegal and you WILL be held to account!

We have seen some bravado in recent days from the pro Phorm lobby I personally am getting bored every Friday we see articles clearly to bolster the end week share price, and as soon as Alex said he would be away for a while the dross poke there heads out.Most of these utterances strike me as the last swipe of a failing regime slinging its hook!!
I sincerely hope so.

Well it seems we may have got you worried enough to post here, pity you cannot confine yourself to the issues instead of making personal attacks.

If Hamsterwheel is infact Kent perhaps that could be said of you go find a proper job instead of leeching off peoples surfing habits.Also Alexander isn't scared to post under his real name that cannot be said for you.
