The BT Forum Moderators have just locked another thread!
A real Ghetto, especially when it is BT Retail Customers who are mostly affected!
MacCavity was just about to make an appearance. Never mind, he can make his debut here. The video of this poem is going to be released publicly "soon"

Macavity: The BT Cat - with apologies to T S Eliott

Macavity's a BT Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw -
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Newgate Street, the ICO's despair:
For when they reach the Webwise screen - Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
He's broken every Webwise law, he breaks the law of privacy.
His powers of interception would make a copper stare,
And when you reach the Webwise screen - Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the log files, you may look up in the air -
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Mcavity's a Webwise cat, he's very tall and thin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed;
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he's half asleep, he's um.... er.. wide awake.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him on a keyboard, you may see him on the screen -
But when an opt-in's discovered, then Macavity's not there!

He's outwardly respectable. (He works for the BT Boss.)
And his footprints are not found in any file at Charing Cross.
And when the website's looted, or the PII is rifled,
Or when the data's missing, or a forum thread's been stifled,
Or the BT network's broken, and Webwise past repair -
Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!

And when the Home Office find a memo's gone astray,
Or the DBERR lose some answers or letters by the way,
There may be a packet of data in the profiler or on the stair -
But it's useless to investigate - Mcavity's not there!
And when the loss has been disclosed, the ICO say:
`It must have been Macavity!' - but he's a mile away.
You'll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs,
Or engaged in doing complicated anonymising sums.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.
He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare:
At whatever time the deed took place - MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!
And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention Sanderson, I might mention GavinP)
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who'se not the norm,
Just controls their operations: the Ertugrul of Phorm!

Feel free to quote on any other forums but please attribute to me!
It's what Dephormation would call a derivative work, but I found it on the internet, and BT legal and Emma say I can do what I like with it.
