well, it's marketing (or to be exact, public relations) 101... you (as an organization) don't just shut up when someone trashes your image. go write a high-profile article trashing coca-cola or intel or whatever big brand, and see if their public relations department stays quiet... "he who keeps silent, consents". those brands i mentioned would never do that, but we do because we're so much smarter than they are, and we know much more than them about public image building... oh god. anyway, i guess there's no point in discussing marketing issues in a list that couldn't care less about what marketing means. isn't that just sad, or am i being too pesimistic tonight? -- Santiago Roza Departamento I+D - Thymbra [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
