RE: [uk-netmarketing] RE: fall of the dotcoms?

[Dave Smith]

I've been out for a couple of days and just caught the thread. This is

great! Talk about stick your head above the parapet!


By the way, can anyone recommend somewhere for me to buy a list of email

addresses for an email campaign I'm planning.


They don't have to be opt-in.

That's it, though - shysters, naifs and incompetents are always more fun,

more spontaneous and less bully than competent professionals. Neither ICI

nor British Telecom are led by or staffed with fun, spontaneous people,

and you don't see them laying people off due to hardship.

As a dull, largely passive person myself, I find fun, spontaneous people

to be unreliable and downright mean, and I have spent my working life

doing my utmost to ensure that they fail. Together with other dull people

I believe that we have a great opportunity to make the

interweb_e.com-iBusiness2 project profitable, professional, and

boring. Just like a proper industry.
