Well I went over my numbers again.

Out of 37 colleges on a list with websites, after 2 hours of work.

I got 24 College President names 
      24 Telephone numbers
      13 Valid email addresses.

Most colleges don't publish email addresses for fear of SPAM.

I've sent him a recommendation to

1.  Buy a snail-mail list

2.  Send 1 letter with 2 follow-up letters

3.  Harvest the email addresses.


But my boss has waited 3 weeks and now can't say he can't deliver.  I could 
have told him 3 weeks ago and we could have come up with an alternate plan. So 
I guess I'll be the scapegoat.

I hate incompetence.
