Sorry darlings, you definitely deserve a real post - full of sound and fury… (and quite probably) signifying nothing; however for now I’m hoping this will at least make you smile.
Gravytrain (who are kind enough to employ me) also run a lead generation/aggregator website called Quotesearcher, covering various insurance and financial service products. Anywho, one of my colleagues was cold calling some brokers to ask them if they wanted to join our panel.
He got through to one company, and was talking through our offering when the gentleman on the phone said (and this my loves is a direct quote):
“Get leads from the internet? I don’t use the internet, it’s for paedophiles.”
…He’s probably right. This whole internet thing is never gonna catch on.

Emo - reminds me of someone we used work for (just don’t mention online shopping - whatever you do)
Adam - hear, hear fella!

One of my favourite quotes from the FRIENDS series is when they’re all sitting around in Central Perk, quietly reading etc and Chandler’s all “So… it looks like this internet thing is here to say, huh?” haha, your comment about the internet made me think of that and laugh.
