"Andrew Landeryou appears to be a waste of skin"

source: www.davidgerard.co.uk/notes/

"I tweeted the following, in a discussion with someone else:

@jeamland mr landeryou has some history on wikipedia. (i did the sockpuppet investigation.)

Mr Landeryou saw fit to send me a threat for this:

From: Andrew Landeryou &editor@vexnews.lt;com>
To: dgerard@gmail.com


Mr Gerard,

I am told you made reference to me in your musings on Twitter. I don't know
you, would rather not have to become familiar with who you are and what on
Earth possessed you to comment so freely about me or to edit Wikipedia to
say absurd things about me.

Your entitled to your opinion of me but I think it might be best for you to
discuss claims you make about me with me first. If you don't, I'll promise
to return the favour after an investigation into exactly what ails you. And
that really would be a waste of time for me and a very unpleasant outcome
for you, so I urge you to Twit more carefully in future.

Yours sincerely

Andrew Landeryou

I look forward to an exchange involving pie charts.

p.s.: if you don’t want your months-long-running Wikipedia shenanigans remembered, it helps not to have done them. Oops, too late."

Andrew Landeryou’s ‘skidmark’ legacy

Andrew Landeryou’s history, as all patriots must by now be aware, is littered with failure – MUSU, IQ Corp, Optima – which have all contributed in one form or other to his bankruptcy.

And his most recent project has been unable to escape that history. That project is his Blog of Sleaze. It has been struggling as a going concern financially since its creation.

But even in the ratings stakes it has collapsed. In April 2007 we reported that Landeryou's blog according to the prestigious blog traffic rankings provider, Alexa, was ranked a low 11,019 in Australia.

The news has only gotten worse for Landeryou with the same provider recording in February 2008 that Landeryou’s blog has fallen to 16,092 in Australia. In addition, the blog is down 36% on reach; and down 118,530,983 on traffic rank.

The supporting chart reveals that the Blog of Sleaze is flat-lining away into obscurity.


It seems that with MUSU, IQ Corp, and Optima scrubbed from history, his Blog of Sleaze will be his lasting ‘skidmark’ on history.
