Just putting my bofh hat on for a moment...

If I were working in IT for West Midlands Trains and I was pissed off that management hadn't given us a bonus, but I didn't want to stick my neck out, what else might I do?

I mean I could do something like this. I might hope that other people would have a strop on my behalf and the press would have a field day. As we can see people couldn't really blame me for a successful security check. Not and have it stick.

The only missing step would be to persuade someone else in IT to actually send the emails. To be bofh level there should be no verifiable trail.
