I am sure what you are saying sounds reasonable to you, and you may be frustrated that no one is really arguing with you. That is because this subject has been discussed in great detail by people with experience in marketing inside and outside the Ada world (experience which you lack), and there are lots of complexities that do not immediately meet the eye! You should definitely spend a few days carefully researching the archives for similar threads. I think you will learn quite a bit by doing that. I still think your energy would be best spent trying to actually improve the situation yourself, instead of going over very tired ground with very familiar arguments! -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
