Conference 7.286::digital

 >We build complimentary products.

	Is this

	(a)  a product which says nice things about you?
		(for example, a compiler linked to a voice
		 synthesiser: "hey, nice programming, dave")

	(b)  a product which they don't charge you for?
    

    I think it means a product that compliment in a cohesive and harmonious 
    and in concert and in tunes and in accords with the other products you
    may already have installed in your existing operating and working
    environment whether it may be business or non-business related
    activities.

    but I love you idea of a talking compiler, we have such a product
    by any fluke of a chance?

    thank you,
    /Nasser

    I just thought it was a novel approach to getting an employee's
    attention....like we get all kinds of mail talking about downsizing,
    and product delays...here's something CHEERY for a change!
    

re .2

You need to check usage as well as spelling, Nasser!
There ain't no such meaning for "compliment".

    there is no such meaning to that word !?

    now you tell me, Dave, after all the self struggle I had to accept
    and go through as I endured the deep thought to come up of those highly 
    selected words before publishing .2 

    this is too hard, one has to in addition to spell checking, also know 
    what words actually do mean!! 
    
    I am seriously starting to think of leaving the business of commentating 
    to something less drastically and dramatically challenging. 
    
    thank you,
    /Nasser
    I spell checked


    

I'd like to complement everyone in this topic for their total abuse of the 
English language.

    >Don't change a thing.  We love ya, 

    thank you cliff, you are just being very kind, words like that is what
    make believe there is still hope and peace for all of us as we
    go through this all together united and in high spirit with love
    in the air to fuels our hearts as we climb the stairs to the light
    shining ahead.
    thanks again.

    >baby!
    
    I AM NOT YOUR BABY , PLEASE !!!!!!

    I AM NOT A BABY, I AM NO ONES BABY, I AM NOT, NOT , NOT , NOT !!!

    thanks!

    Re: last string 
    
    Nasser, Porter (.4) was right, you need to do more than spell check. 
    After all Bush's 'know gnu taxis' gets through just fine but has little
    meaning.  But I love your enthusiasm (and creative usage) - don't quit
    noting because of some sniveling nit pickers.
    

Even DECgrammar wouldn't be enough - both "complementary software"
and "complimentary software" would pass muster.   What we
need is DECsemantics!

    What we need is to worry less about spelling and grammar, and more
    about the content of the message.
    
    It is true that when one has nothing significant to say, one can always
    focus on the insignificant.

    Nasser is one example of what it's like to have 'artificial' removed 
    from 'artificial intelligence.'
    
    Automated tools don't help with his replies - you need to think!
    
    Often times, the pain this process (thinking) causes to some, manifests 
    itself as 'nit' replies.

    Please , please folks, calm down, we should not fight with each other like 
    this, we should love each others and hold in high esteem other peoples 
    feelings and noting emotions, remember we are in this all together, we 
    must hold hands, embrace and look to the bright future in high spirit and 
    the powers of inspirations that is hidden dormant deep within all of us as 
    we marsh against the obstacles no matter what they may be with the 
    strong believe than we will concur and override them in feverish 
    insight and raised enthusiasm that will show every one the true meaning 
    of the power of unity and emotional ties that hold us all together.
    remember, if you believe that you can do it, then you will !

    thank you,
    /Nasser

    But Nasser if we were seen holding hands and embracing, well people
    might talk...

    RE .13
    
    Yo ... Gil ... GIL!  WAKE UP DAMMIT!
    
    Why you pickin' on me, when the seven replies prior to mine and the
    rest of the ones after it are also ratholes?
    
    ... Bob (who doesn't use no steenking spel chekker)

    Nasser's notes are thought-provoking - I like them.
    
    But .14 had to have been written by a new product I didn't even know we
    had:

    re .16
    
    
Bob, I was agreeing with you....not picking on you....

    And I said "Really!" as in right on...how true....my thoughts
    exactly....
    
    Back to the original subject....I was mad about this cooperative
    marketing (choose your noun...partner... whatever) trying to get sales to
    push their product by saying " Hey! There's only cheery news in this
    envelope, and nothing about how screwed up your company is!"
    
    I mean we are having trouble, but we don't need our friends to remind
    us of it, after all....
    
    And then everyone went off on another spell checker rathole and clogged
    up this note.  
    
    

    
    re: .18
    
    Hmmm... I just reread the basetopic and the replies. I must
    disagree with your conclusion. In content, style, or 
    inference (or all of these, in some cases) each reply is
    seems be quite in keeping with the topic, IMHO.
    
    Perhaps it is the lack of the phrase "...cooperative 
    marketing..." in the replies that fails to call attention
    to the thread of discussion. Perhaps.
    
    Then again, maybe I'll have to quit telling the waitress,
    "I'll have what he's having" when I'm in a resturant,
    sitting near /Nasser.
