I have some code that I have outsourced to a contractor in my project. I wrote a requirement specification for that part of the code, which took me about one day, and that weird look from colleagues & boss because "Oh come on, this is someone we have been working with for ages, you are loosing your time, he knows what he does".
I got several deliveries in which features were missing or not correctly implemented, and the contractor fixed them on my request.
And yesterday, he eventually sent invoices for the fixes ??
So I sent him back the specification we had agreed upon, and got an embarrassed phone call this morning that went "mmmh yes mmmhh sorry about the specification thing mmmmh of course the costs go all on us mmmhh".
So me writing that spec on that day just saved us several k€... No more weird looks *revenge grin*

Ok, where's Nagy? His profile seems to have been deactivated.. 
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

He was here 27 minutes ago.

Oh, you've met him then?

Both DD and Nagy ! This place is now a better place ! 
Ok, now seriously, this is indeed weird. Maybe he was spammed away...

Something something Gin something something antiliberal.
Yay business as usual!
Seriously though, what has happened to Nagy.

Where did Dave Coulter get to?

He's busy doing a degree through the OU. Doesn't look like he has much free time.

I have a feeling the answer lies in the soapbox. Revenge reporting. Deep sigh. 
Either that or the French bashing the other day.
I personally wish that you couldn't report without motivation.

I was thinking about this one[^].
I didn't think that was it, but I've seen stranger reasons.
Maybe Keith Barrow was more on the spot[^], but twelve people not reading the actual text? I find that amazing.

Normally only Spam&Abuse reported posts get kicked in minutes, This is some kind of revenge downvoting - we all know he can be harsh (and funny as Hell).

Hey, I can be pretty harsh too, but I've been reported twice ever I think. In both cases for calling out idiotic comments, so I'm definitely leaning towards revenge reporting.
Oh, make that three times, there was a story some years ago with someone reporting everyone that didn't vote five on his articles.

Ok, it looks like I did not miss it

Moreover, the thread was not targetted (otherwise it would have been gone), but Nagy directly. This is either crazy, or a bug...

Hey, _I_ was not born back then, so this argument is not fair.
Do you still have that sheep costume you used to hide yourself in these troubled times ?
Get my 5 BTW, best post of today.

Do not afraid, he will be back!
