What's happened to antiseptic?

Maybe he's been in court getting screwed by those awful, horrible women that are all out to "get" him. Ha ha.

Yeah, Anti *must* be important.

There is no way that the sinecured employees of the CSA would actually correct an inaccuracy if he wasn't, huh?

*that's* the sort of public servants we all respect isn't it?

The sort that will not fix an error of arithmetic *just* because the complainant was not nice about it. Their own honesty be damned.

Well how about this: The next time a public servant is as nice to me about his/her error as I as a purely commercial entity must be about my own, I'll acknowledge it. If the the Public servant reserves the right to not act honestly *just* because I wasn't sweet as pie about it (oh thank you for your stuffup, wihich costs me but for you is value neutral), I'll try and remember the fact. Or record it.

In the meantime, Anti has detailed the nature of the CSA's error online.

The details match the general case criticised by the Ombudsman two or three years ago.

Why have all similar cases (including Anti's) not been fixed?

Is it because the CSA stuffed up? Oh dear. Can't just *fix* it could they, like good servants?

Perhaps the CSA is self-serving?
Perhaps just incompetant?
Perhaps they lack the legal expertise to interpret the Ombudsman's decision?

Yes, yes, we know the Ombudsman is not a judge, but the O's office tries to anticipate a court's decision. Ignoring the applicability to other cases is *not* "good faith".

Suffice to say that I think that the established history of arithmetic and accounting poor practice described by the ombudsman constitutes a reasonable basis for refusing to accept the CSA as competent to excute it's supposed authority until all outstanding cases of the types described by the ombudsman have been corrected.

Does anyone else think Antiseptic has either been arrested or committed suicide?

I hope not. I think the forum is poorer for his absence.

I just wish some characters as interesting and entertaining as Antiseptic, Col Rouge or the Pied Piper were still around on OLO.

It seems to me OLO has turned from a place with heated debate and comical banter to one where a bunch of old codgers bang on about recipes and the good 'ol days and what they like to do around the house.

I'll keep checking in now and again to see if OLO improves again.

Hoully,

I am personnaly certain he is free and happy, and has CSA totally flummoxed to boot.

Benq says (and makes veiled threats at OLO) a lot for someone who has not followed Anti's posts.

Rusty.
