Yeah, since you are a stickler for accuracy please clarify the following.

In America when discussing your replies one would say, "yeah, what an
obnoxious >dickhead<."

However since you are in the U.K. American slang wouldn't apply. Not to

might drift back to you eliciting another 10K response. So, what *would* be
the proper term?

Wanker
Boffin
