I'm too nice to rub it in like that. The email just struck me as funny because it was worded as if it was advice that had just been discovered. Mrs. Micah said: <em>"For ordinary people, that might be an ok campaign. No splash, no pizzaz. But if he’s trying to get it published on your blog. Yeah. Nothing you haven’t said before and better."</em> Ernesto, LOL! I've gotten those types of emails too. That's very nice of you to say. Dylan,

You should make a copy of the list in case you lose the original. You should invest your money in something that makes money for your client. If your client wants their money invested in some way, you should do that for them. Oh wait, that last point turned into a Supreme Court case. I guess some people DO need the basics.
