Telecom isn't responsible for the actions of people who make obscene phone calls, or who make extortion demands by phone. Vodafone isn't responsible for the actions of users who send threatening text messages.
Actually Matthew there is a parrallel here, I am certain that Telecom would be responsive to complaints of obscene phone calls and the cellphone operators are moving to curtail schoolyard bullying. Vodafone for one will:
...warn the bully, stopping texting from their account, temporarily barring their account or even permanently deactivating their account from our network

Thought not... bugger!

It's more commonly just used to refer to a greasy mark on the inside of your right calf ... though I've seen a few inked on permanently as well.
That is why I went for a 1970s Raleigh chainwheel on my right ankle... an 'in' cycling joke, and a hark back to my first 10-speed

Possibly a case of sustained substance use/abuse coming home to roost?
I can blaim a number of my failings on that... but name and face recognition is not one of them... I have always been crap at it. In fact I suspect I am getting slightly better as I get older.

That should read...
