RE: [wg-c] breaking up (names) is hard to do

["Roeland M.J. Meyer" <rmeyer@mhsc.com>]

More FUD Dave? There have been answers, for stale links,  for years and
billboards get changed every 30-60 days. Some of them bill by the week.
As for my expert opinion, I have met the marketing guru's, I am not
them. But I, at least, talk to them. You don't seem to even have their
phone number. I have been a specialist, and paid expert, in e-commerce
technology for over five years. I've worked with three pre-IPO companies
in the last six weeks.
