Edit your message, I think a nice 'oh and hey Kevin' at the end would be good.

Only if his name's Kevin though, if not then I'm back to the drawing board...

I would go about it the snide way and make a thread in After Hours in the hope they see it and get the message without me confronting them.

I have the solution to this problem my fellow work dossers!

Place you desk in the corner facing out towards everyone else. That way, your colleague see the back of your monitor. It's worked for me for the last year and a bit

yes they are but not to the extent they are spending on boards especially when they are in a junior position and a totally different department than me.

Just us a proxy website like stupidcensorship.com or something similar.

I don't care what co workers do, so long as they get the job done. (This applies to me also as I'm also on boards)
