RE: [Interlug] WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO BRING NEW CUSTOMERS TO THE ISERIES?

Glenn,

It is, frequently, easier to tell something about someone from what they
/don't/ do, or /don't/ say than what they actually /do/ do or say...  But
anything can be overdone.

You probably get around the Net more than I do, but we've both seen the heat
and passion put into discussions about IBM marketing.  It's been on on-going
theme over the past few /years/ that I've been on this list (and over at the
Ignite/400 list, way back when).  I would say I've seen /far/ more than 100
people invest time and energy into posting on this subject.

So I'm not sure how you draw the conclusion there's not much interest, given
the number and kinds of posts we've seen.  I, personally, wouldn't put too
awful much emphasis on the sample size of this particular survey.
