So you might want to get your facts straight.
Back off Dian. You have obviously gotten your dander up over a little good natured ribbing. As I was in error for suggesting that the reason for MouseTrax being in business is to make a profit, I apologize. |

Dian,
Surely you do not imply that those who do not share your "opinions" on mission statements are in any way less educated or schooled in running a corporation. Did you learn to think of employees as "little worker ants" and subordinate supervisors/managers as "little bosses" in that course of study? |

mission statements are in any way less educated or schooled in running a corporation. sigh No...that's your incorrect interpretation of words. Did you learn to think of employees as "little worker ants" and subordinate supervisors/managers as "little bosses" in that course of study? SIGH No...that was an exaggeration. Although I have had the misfortune of working at several companies that do have those views, as well as employing self-important micro managers who SHOULD have been designated more as "little bosses" since they behaved that way. Which is why I prefer not to frequent that world any longer. Feel free to continue to dispute any of these facts. Sorry I can't continue to enjoy this claptrap...I have work to do. Cheers! Dian D.

Dian D. Chapman, MVP shared this with us in
microsoft.public.word.newusers: ... but since you charge a fee for this giving it seems to me that a more likely reason for being is to make profit ;-). And in that statement...you are completely mistaken. We do NOT charge squat for the help/advise that we provide.

I happily help MANY people with free advice, critiques of their work and often times provide free help to those who even offer to pay...because it's not right to charge one person for something I freely give to others. So you might want to get your facts straight. soapbox The difference between email and usenet help and advice: Email is (in your case) free of charge but most of the times not Free (as in Freedom of Speech) unless explicitly stated so by both correspondents. (confidentiality of the mail, or something like that). Usenet is, by its very nature and definition, Free (as in Speech) AND Open. Free means anyone can write whatever they want and Open means anyone else can do with it whatever they want. This means if you write something here, you can't prevent someone else doing something with it (even making profit). And if you make profit with something you read here, you can't prevent someone else from also making profit. A technical consequence is that Usenet itself is free of charge, only the access might be something you have to pay for. /soapbox Yes, if someone comes to me asking me to build them a project...THEN I point them toward my consulting services...which is an entirely different matter. But also in that case, they do get free info about what it will take and what the cost would be to go that route...as well as info links to learn on their own and the time/cost differences from doing it themselves versus having me do it for them.

I just came across one from a Project Management company:
Our mission is to anticipate the needs of our clients to conceive, develop, and deliver the highly effective project management solutions used to seize competitive advantage. "business owner" wrote: Getting some samples of actual mission statements would be of great help. Thanks. |

Ghastly. I'd steer well clear of that company.
