Vote: how big a problem is this? - Max Aug 22, 12:15 12
- the clients have read it a month ago, you haven't heard a word nor have you lost any clients over it, frankly sending them is a wasted effort - zeitgeist Aug 22, 12:25
- How big of a client is it? -- nm - amoxy Aug 22, 12:24
- minor. give a foolow-up call if you think it is necessary -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 12:23
- I think it's pretty big. like I would stress about it for weeks, wonder if I should say anything. nothing would ever come of it. - amanda Aug 22, 12:18
- Probably very minor. If they receive the letters regularly they probably don't even look at the saluation anymore. - decline Aug 22, 12:17 4
  - additional detail: it's monthly, and this client has had "zero" every month so far this year. (client is Merck) -- nm - Max Aug 22, 12:20 3
    - some chump opens that thing. as soon as they see zero, they junk it. no boss man sees the zero number. all is AOK. - amanda Aug 22, 12:21 2
      - our CEO wanted to tear the assistant a new one, but I talked her down. - Max Aug 22, 12:24

- "Dear Mr December, we apologize for our unfortunate mixup with your name last month." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 12:17 1
  - Heh! And I think if anyone has a name like that, they're used to worse. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 12:19
- Does the client actually see it or does an underling? How big of a pompous butt is he? -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 12:17
today's fun thing: Beast pillow -- (link) - Andie Aug 22, 12:14 4

Yes I'm old...but I really resent Craigslist advertisers who request 'text response only' - Meg Aug 22, 12:02 2
- there are websites that will drop a text message for you, a PITA to use but if it gets a convo going you can switch to email or phone -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 22, 12:13
- yeah me too, but its just an anti spam deal, some areas get tons of nigerian scams -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 22, 12:12

  - almost network is the CW... -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 12:25
- what exactly were they shooting that day? -- nm - Diva Aug 22, 12:02 7
  - in a more serious vein - I wonder what makes the 'Public Disgrace' series "notoriously brutal"? -- nm - Diva Aug 22, 12:04 6
    - Do you really want to know? -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 12:06 5
      - not sure. -- nm - Diva Aug 22, 12:10 4
        
        I'm not looking at the spoiler and will assume it's in the 2/3 of the internet I pretend doesn't exist. -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 12:16 1

LZ Granderson: Blame the parents when their kids commit horrible acts. -- (link) - znufrii Aug 22, 12:00 6
- Of course. You go after the owners when a dog bites someone, right? - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 12:02 5
  - A. dog owners can put a bad dog down (even if they were the cause of making the dog crazy to begin with) b. sometimes kids are just born that way - zeitgeist Aug 22, 12:16 1
    - A. you can seek help or report your bad kid. I'm not so much blaming the parents for *creating* a monster (B and C)... - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 12:22
  - I think the response is overly simplistic and fails to take into account the resources, time, and energy it takes to be a good parent - znufrii Aug 22, 12:08 2
    - You can say the same thing about being a responsible dog owner. But you choose to do both. - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 12:26
    - There are responsible parents in every economic, social and ethnic class. Many of them in fact. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 22, 12:11

As more people get their news from social media, the news is turning more positive and less mean -- (link) - con_carne Aug 22, 11:49 4
- makes sense, my friends on FB are more likely to share a cute good story than something horrible -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 12:06
- tl:dr - OP is gay. - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 11:57 1
  - I think con_carne would disagree with being called gay -- nm - amoxy Aug 22, 12:03

  - this. I don't think that IM is entirely correct but mostly - zork Aug 22, 11:56 2
    - Supposedly both ways are acceptable, just be consistent. Plural shouldn't enter into it. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 11:59
    - yeah, I'm sure there's exceptions, but that's the rule as I remember it. -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 11:59
- in my world, if you say the s when you speak, 's. otherwise, just '. -- nm - amanda Aug 22, 11:40 3
  - Exactly. I'd use 's for this one. -- nm - mara Aug 22, 11:47 2
    - My sisters -- nm - prayformojo Aug 22, 11:51 1
      - we are MKK on this, the three of us. -- nm - amanda Aug 22, 11:55

I wonder if fixing that SEO garbage will give rankings boosts to all the other sites we may have dragged down (including my own)? :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 11:24 2

- I read about this the other day. Moral of the story: Pay your drug dealers -- nm - decline Aug 22, 11:22 1
