Ittai,
You will have a hard time convincing me that you and Marty are not in
marketing. Walk like ducks, ... It's ok. Some of my best friends, ...
I just hope my son does not marry one. :-)
And, yes, I imagine that things are not simple and easy. And special
thanks for copping to it. But the frequent glib hyperbole here leads the
more gullable of us to expect more actual answers beyond the posturing
than may be reasonable to expect.
I do read "Matrix News", but it the fabled August ish has yet to arrive
out here in the Left Coast boonies. A characterization of the major
networks, ANS, AlterNet, PSI, and the regionals should be interesting.
One gets a feeling they're quite different from reading these two lists.
I hope that the market is big enough and the field level enough that all
(but the hopelessly hidebound, and I have no one in mind) can play their
parts.
> Finally, I passed your name to the marketing folks.
Thanks. I'll don the shark repellant. :-)
