- Bullshit. How one engages in business is applicable across the board, whether
- the company you're dealing with wants to succeed or (in your estimation)
- whether they want to fail. I don't NEED to deal with Atari Corporation in
- order to know what standards I set for myself with regard to business meetings.
- I don't NEED to personally deal with Atari Corporation in order to know that if
- I don't have a clear set of goals going into a business meeting, I am surely
- not going to come out of that meeting having met any goals. I don't NEED to
- deal with Atari Corporation to have enough sense to ask for an agenda and a
- list of the people with whom I am going to meet.
-
- Your suggestion that one has to have dealt directly with Atari before one is
- capable of issuing any judgement upon practical business tactics is ludicrous.
-
- Your assertion that until I have actually dealt with Atari I am in no position
- to state how I WOULD deal with Atari is yet another example of the extent your
- apparent PERSONAL hatred for that particular corporation extends.
