I too, am a consultant of sort, but not for outsourcing, My client wants me in their building to babysit their systems. I do not use their email address because all of this traffic floods the blackberry I have to carry, and because sometimes, I ask for information or offer information that is NOT on my client's behalf. I won't attach their name to advice that they won't accept from me, or to queries for my own interests. When I do ask or offer on their behalf, I include my work phone number so that people can reach me to talk about problems with what I have asked/offered. If the list generally agrees that affiliation needs to be known, I will add my client's name to the phone number, But I will still ask&offer on my own account when appropriate. If that lack of corporate tattooing gets me less responses, so be it.
Personally, I skip past a lot of those messages that are obviously from people who are way too far into the deep water to really save. /Tom Kern On Sun, 9 Sep 2007 19:16:32 -0400, O'Brien, David W.
