technology."


Or in other words "MouseTrax.com" followed by 21 words of pretentious,
meaningless blather. I prefer products whose actions speak for
themselves...


Blessed be, for sure...

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?

sigh No...that's your incorrect interpretation of words.

subordinate supervisors/managers as "little bosses" in that course of

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!

Hold On Here!-A bunch of really intelligent people jsut forgot the mission of

And in that statement...you are completely mistaken.

We do NOT charge squat for the help/advise that we provide. Unlike
many who refuse to take support email through their personal email...I
do that all day long and have no problem with it. 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.

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.

Patrick,

Yeah, it drifted. I think now that we have all capped our pens and
withdrawn from the field :-)

Dian D. Chapman, MVP shared this with us in

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.

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.

Thanks.

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