<<<<Why are there over 110,000 posts? >>> Well, you are right in the middle of historic events and a major change in marketing and communications worldwide. Its my guess that Dell thread is the most active and consistent of all on-line discussion groups. Probably is setting a precident future threads. Seems to have life of its own, doesn't need much guidance other than the simplest of rules enforced by Brad. Like a freeway, its just amazing that it works at all. Spammers here seem to last about 20 minutes, because somebody will visit their profile, find many identical posts, and its all over. Any question you may ask, the best answers are here. Taxes, options, brokers, computer configurations, even air travel and vacations. What have we got ?. Doctors, company owners, financial planners,brokers, teachers, IT managers, even some lawyers ( if they can stand the jokes) Want to know about Canada?- Ask Gabriel, Singapore-Ask Rosemary, Holland-Paul Van Wyck- Switzerland-Yackov(sp), India( or the Orient hehe)- Mohan , Italy- Luciano. On and on..... Must still be many lurkers reading here too, because Dell now has 24,000 employees and most of those are shareholders but they don't say much(G). Summary The thread is what you are able to make of it, can provide something important for anybody, including Cpq shareholders. Regards ( see jbn3 for hotel rooms in Austin)g Sig |
