I don't know if there has been much discussion on the ethics of spamming here? Is spamming free speech? I oppose spamming because it's rude and inefficient, lowering the S/N everywhere it happens. Market droids Market Droids???? As a salesman I take offence at this slur. It is a mild term compared to some of the things that could be said about sales. I have dealt with far too many sales people. Few of them knew anything about the products that they were selling. (This is especially true of the computer field. "Do you know the difference between a computer salesman and a car salesman? The car salesman knows how to drive.")
The way I heard it was that the Car Salesman knew he was lying.
But then, rarely does truth enter into the matter of sales... Sales people have a bad reputation for a very good reason. If they actually had a basic understanding of what they were selling, and were not so untrustworthy as to not commit to things that are not deliverable, they would have that reputation.
Then they would not be sales people. Good salesmen are like good governments. Very Very Rare. o.b. Crypto: Uh...Uh...Uh... Testing one way hashes on SalesDroids. Petro, Christopher C. petro@suba.com <prefered for any non-list stuff> snow@smoke.suba.com
