I don't follow... Do you honestly believe that having this list is causing such a devastating impact on Reals bottom line that they have no choice but to "consolidate" the two or risk closing up shop? Really???
The paradox of the REAL marketing department is that they can conceive of this terrible blunder but at the same time package it up with some fancy wordsmithing and call it "consolidation." The truthiness of the matter is that the listserv is being disbanded and its customers... abandoned. ~joe On 2/5/07 11:06 AM, "Charles Yeomans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That said, I should also say that RS be given the benefit of the > doubt.
