Well I was worried about you because I heard that BE pulls people's pigtails when he has had a bit too much blackjack ;)

Well, we didn't DEVELOP the shit, Brainiac, but we have to work WITH both Management and IT in writing up the technical docs and marketing materials, and it IS a coordinated effort between us and the developers and the managers and directors. So, in the end, yes, we can say that we DID write the fucking thing.

What "crappy software" are you babbling about? The shit YOU use, perhaps? Hey, baby, cheap is as cheap does.

I'm glad you posted that, because that's a very good example of the translation problems we have with Chinese and Korean developers.

But, no, we're not writing for low-end products, services, and agencies.... All our clientele are HIGH-END. That means expensive, m'kay? And, no, we don't make mistakes... Except maybe posting on AmKon.

Oh well, stretching the truth a bit, that is what marketing people do, isn't it?

Then we WROTE THE PRODUCT into existence. For we were describing the product to a tee before development ever produced it, okay? Do you understand that? Like, when they say Sir Arthur C. Clarke invented the telecommunications satellite — and, I mean, he is credited with that achievement — do you think it means he engineered the thing and assembled it with his own hands?

Of course not, you doofus. We utterly described the product in its every process, and our Korean elves in Development built the thing to our specifications; and, yes, we conferred with them on a daily basis, such that they did not make a move that we did not superintend.

Okay? Is that clear enough for you? Thanks for you patience as I s-p-e-l-l i-t o-u-t for you.
