2. Astak decided they have a public relations nightmare on their hands and decided some farewell words from "Robert" were necessary, and if they did not sound altogether complimentary to the company then so much the better...and so made an account impersonating him. Short term damage vs. long term PR problems (yes, I'm a skeptic about Korporate Amerika).
3. Some anonymous person saw the fuss about Robert, and decided, for whatever twisted reason, that it would be fun to impersonate him and make fools of all of us. Stranger things have happened.
Which is it? I have no idea. I'd LOVE to believe it's RobertB come back to us, but bless his heart, I'm not sure how he'd prove it if it is... not with this group of intelligent skeptics. Anyone have any questions that only RobertB would know the answer to?

Dear Phenom:
I used to always call you that!! Let me see, I did the poll using PMS colors for the Pocket PRO. There used to be a pirate guy who lived in Arkansas that was always on here who had a great recipe for Chocolate Sauce. There used to be only ONE thread for Astak. It ran about 126 pages and then they asked me if a forum of Astak's own was acceptable. I was the one who used to talk about the Evil PM.
WHEN I was fired at Astak I was given a little over an hour to clean out my desk and was not allowed to get on my computers. I had to turn in my Notebook and desktop and even my cell phone. Essentially, after six years, I was contactless and could not even contact my sister. It was very sudden and clinical. Very similar to death of your personna.
Let us not blame Jenifer! Jenifer means well and you need her. However, she dictates ONLY what the company says to say. So, do not blame her for lying; just do not expect she is free to say what she thinks or knows at all times. She is young and she is new and needs her job. She is not the problem. In a Chinese company you do AS you are told without question. I was NOT brought up that way. I was from the "Question Authority" generation. I tried to do what I thought would sincerely help the company WHILE helping our customers. To me, the two are tied together. I also felt that not being a "yes man"would serve the company better.
Anyway, I cannot log in as RobertB anymore. I wish I could. It feels very odd being under a different name on here.
I am applying for other jobs in this field; but cannot be on here daily. Jenifer has a good heart and will try to help you!!
Bob
