Oh, good grief.  "It's not our fault that the whole

industry is waist-deep in fuckwits, it's those beastly

journalists."

AAAAARGH!  Why in the name of Christ would I want someone

who knows jack shit about my business?  Try it out:


"Go on - try and coax a serious executive to your

so-called nuclear power company when his only knowledge

of nuclear power comes from Spiderman and the Incredible

Hulk."


[Cue very nervous Cumbrians, Irish, etc]


More seriously, I can't believe you've just said both of these

things together:


1  Journalists and TV people are irresponsible for suggesting

   that many dotcom executives are extremely naive about business


2  It's OK to hire a senior executive to your dotcom company

   who doesn't know anything at all about the internet


Come on, make your mind up.  Which is it?
