Re: Clause "with and use"

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

Don't get marketing confused with advertising or sales. Marketing is 
supposed to find out what the customer wants and try to design products 
that will fit that need. Advertising and sales can be part of that 
effort, but is an after-the-fact add-on. People often confuse "Sales" 
with "Marketing" and the two are not the same.

Yes, people will *lie* in sales and advertising - or at least attempt to 
mislead. That doesn't make it right, but lets at least give some credit 
to the people who do it well. Marketing, sales, advertising, etc., are 
all essential parts of running an effective business. It takes people 
with special skills and special training to do it - just like software 
designers, they are professionals too. If Ada had a better team and 
bigger budget to do this, it could be a dominant force in the language wars.
