I have had the pleasure of meeting Georgialee, whilst in my capacity as an investigator for Deloitte & Touche.
I am on my own now, with my own firm.
But Georgialee, quite apart from not being hard on the eyes, is a superb and accomplished lawyer.

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Appreciate it!
Posted by Brigette on April 29, 2013 at 12:52 PM
After I originally commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the exact same comment. Is there a way you can remove me from that service? Kudos!
