Hi Stephen,
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were espousing
that point of view. Anyway, I don't want to argue about
this. <g> We probably agree on the basics of this anyway.
What I was trying to say is that these big companies are
trying to push things on us rather than listening to what
is really wanted out there. I find that attitude
despicable and will say so anytime.
Yes they will laugh at me. Laughing at others is a sign
of weakness. Besides, I'm used to being laughed at. <g> I
know these companies don't care, and that is exactly the
problem. IMHO, saying nothing is wrong.
You're right about not spending a lot of time bothering
them about our needs. They won't listen. My way is to
ignore them as much as possible, and encourage others to
do the same.
Cheers,
Ole Juul
