Infoworld Electric Readers Don't Matter

Posted by: Ron Findling

"The new results may accurately reflect
the opinions of Infoworld readers but I
am sure they have nothing to do with the
opinions of Infoworld Electric readers."

Don't you get it? We're not "real"
readers, we don't count. Something I'm
sure the advertisers who pay good money
to show their banners should keep good
note of.

But that's maybe why Sandy tried to
throw those results out. It's those
advertisers who pay the bills for this
site, not us peasant readers, and how
many of those advertisers are trying to
sell OS/2 products?

You see, a lot of OS/2 votes shows a
lot of OS/2 *readers,* and this might
scare an advertiser who might see his
bucks going to waste on a site that isn't
reaching his target audience.

So I can't stress this enough - whatever
protestations Sandy or her helpers might
make, *we don't count.* Because we
don't pay her salary.


Actually I did get it. (rbagwell) Sat, 14 Jun
Well, that's easy to change (rogersm) Today
