Buff, I think I love you

[Carrie]

Okay, as if there were any question at this point whether the operations going on there on Poydras street are motivated out of greed or humanitarianism, just check out Buff's latest post from 1:55pm where he says his post over the past few days can be used as a "quasi-resume".

Nice way to capitalize on all of this tragedy. I especially liked the mention of a book deal or movie rights.

For the first few days, sure... stay there long enough to keep the servers running and get the data transferred offsite or the servers physically moved offsite. After that it was more than obvious that the whole thing was a big PR campaign, loving the attention personally and soaking it up with all the attention DirectNic was getting - and this just seals it.

Any respect is gone, man. Just gone. Not that you care, I know. *shrug*
I doubt we'll see pure unadulterated greed and capitalizing on the situation more aptly displayed than the record of that blog, crowned with that 1:55pm 9/7/05 post.

Carrie, just to point out that they ARE a business.

A big one. http://oprano.com/msgboard/showthrea...ht=Intercosmos

To ensure the livelihood of their clients, their business, while helping others and getting back the benefits of good PR while doing so, is just that, BUSINESS.

To have less respect for that is either to be insane or to be against business. And if you are anti-business, just what are you doing here???

I dont agree with you in the least. But then I know Buff a little better than you do BUT....

*IF* this is a PR stunt... its the most brilliant "thinking on your feet" gonzo styled marketing Ive ever seen in my life.

Buff asked me to give you this though....
