I understand what you are saying, but if you didn't tell the 30 million dollar client to put out his cigarette, (1) I wouldn't respect you, and (2) I would probably pull out my 30 mil (assuming I had it). I don't understand how that makes anyone psychologically bright. I have seen a private on guard duty put a colonel on his face because he wasn't on the soldier's list as Field Officer of the Day. I was a lowly lieutenant at the time and could literally see my career fly out the window. Didn't happen because the colonel knew the soldier did his job. With little experience in the 'civilian' world, I would hope that a client you are doing a credible job for wouldn't be that petty.

Voltaire, Thanks for the update. Tonight Paul Kangas on the Nightly Business Report thought that one reason why AOL went down today was due to a judge ruling against AOL Finance - Internet Daily for Monday, January 04, 1999 Your personalized e-mail news, brought to you by InfoBeat To modify your profile, click here. by Frank Barnako CBS MarketWatch Women crowd out men in Web shops Women accounted for almost 60 percent of online shoppers measured during the holiday sales period by Web researchers Media Metrix Inc. "This is clear evidence that women are more developed in the shopping environment than men are, despite the fact the larger Internet use universe is split about 50/50," senior vice president Bob Ivins told CBS.MarketWatch.com. Women were particularly more active on sites selling apparel, he added. Approximately one million unique visitors went to five or more shopping sites during this period, and one out of five online shoppers visited at least three shopping sites, he said. "The Books/music/movies category experienced the smallest percentage increase in traffic during the holiday shopping season," said Ted Hawthorne, Media Metrix' vice president of research and client information. "However, that category posted the largest actual gain in audience." He said this indicates the area has not yet peaked in popularity or use. AOL fails to halt WorldNet promotion A Federal District Court Chief judge has rejected America Online's effort to block AT&T WorldNet Service from using the phrase "You Have Mail." The court also refused to prohibit WorldNet from using "Buddy List" and "IM" in promoting its "I M Here" instant messaging service. At a December 24th hearing, Chief Judge Claude Hilton of the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia rejected AOL's claim, stating that AT&T made a compelling case that the terms in dispute were likely generic, WorldNet said. The ruling came in a hearing on AOL's request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction.
