Uh, the Bubbas don't read. <GRINS>

What we have are 'ditto heads' and what shows up in some forums, newspaper ads and some web sites, will be echoed later. The best response is the truth, the facts and data. Having them means that when the Bubba spouts their 2nd and 3d hand lie, you can quietly, dispashionately, share the the facts and data and get back to work.

My experience is 'ditto heads' spend about an hour per day spouting their nonsense. It distracts from work and worse, takes time away from other employees. By answering with the facts and data, suddenly, they seem to find that assignment they should have been working on that now needs their attention.
