Hi all,

I am absolutely appalled at this message!  I can't believe that someone in a
position of authority can so cavalierly dismiss Alfredo and his contribution
to Interex over the years.  Didn't I just see Alfredo post a message to the
list congratulating Chad (and others) for his/their willingness to work within
the box at Interex?

Jean:  have you EVER noticed that Adager has bought the back cover of your
worthless magazine for many years?  How dare you use your position to lash
out at Alfredo for his support of someone who disagrees with your position!

As far as your response to your having provided three paragraphs of
information
about his product in a recent issue.  Have you forgotten that it is your
responsibility
to keep US (your employers!) informed?  If you were to print nothing but
product information about Adager (the product) for a year you wouldn't come
close to rewarding Adager (the company) and Alfredo commensurate with his
contribution to keeping Interex going.

"Anti-Interex nonsense"?  Are you dismissing the valid points of your
constituency?
Unbelievable!  Maybe it's time for a new job, Jean.
