Peter. Errrr...Ummmm...WAKE-UP!! You are saying it is ok to
skew the process of locating resources for everyone, so that your
client will benefit. Multiply that by a few thousand practioners,
and if you don't see the problem, God help you. And BTW, your
opinion did not come across as remotely humble, so why the IMHO.
The worst advice you'd seen in 20 years? Oklee-Dokelee.
Back to my cave. Your 20 years means didily right now. The business
of the Internet is 2 years old.
I founded an entire Internet industry niche from my living room.
My rep speaks for itself. I've forsaken serious cash several times
in favor of keeping my biz and running it right. Guess I'm an
idiot, and thank you for enlightening me.
Back to lurk mode.
Best wishes,
