[_] Off topic: how not to sell

We have five potential suppliers who have used the system since the
experiment began a month or so ago, and we've fed them ferrero rocher to
reinforce good behaviour :-)

Ok, so that's a lie, but we do answer those that follow the system within
hours, and we do keep them on record as promised. Funny thing is they
actually stand a really good chance if we ever needed their services because
the number of people who actually pay attention can (even now) be counted on
one hand!

Naming and shaming can get you sued at best and killed if you mess with the
wrong people, but once we get a handful more of some attentive suppliers we
could do a top ten chart perhaps?

And Matt - you don't need to worry even if you did get on the wrong side of
me. I've been told by a reliably recovered source that my brand of hexes are
the low-tar variety (I've been cutting down) and only affect people for a
few weeks at most. Even the smell goes away after a while :-)

laters,

Jaya
