There you go. I've already demonstrated how rubbish I am by using my
primary e-mail address rather than my 'registered' one to respond.

Either you will throw your hands up in despair or think 'If this idiot
can be taught to the extent that he can explain things to other
idiots...'

I'm not proud and I am not going to get upset if you decide I am the
wrong person for the job.

Offer's there anyway.
