Maybe It's Time for a TRUE Company Directory?

[Dravyk]

In many cases, most cases, I'm pretty good about actually knowing who runs things. ... At least I thought.

As time goes on, I'm finding more and more cases where who I thought was in charge was just the front man or the marketing person. In still other cases I've heard so many conflicting reports as to who is the employee and who is the boss at "company X" it's become a bad game of "To Tell The Truth" ... "Will the real president please stand up ..."

So maybe it's time for a TRUE webmaster directory of some sort. When I say true I don't mean something where the people at the company make the listing. Yeah, at first thought, that would make sense ... but again seeing more and more smoke and mirrors with marketing people saying they're in charge -- until they get fired that is! -- an "open" directory for submissions would only perpetuate the mascarades rather than expose them.

Again, why need one? Pretty damned simple:

I'd like to know when I'm talking with someone am I dealing with the president, the flunky du jour, or the bathroom janitor.

Anyhow, there's my thought. Maybe Oprano or someone would like to pick up the ball and run with it.
