Just as an ordinary member of IrelandOffline....
Thanks for the banner ad and publicity you have given for the seminar. It definitely has contributed to augmenting our membership ( as seen in the amounnt of new ppl posting stuff in the last few days )

As you've stated You feel its important that you have the control over the advertising that appears so you can lend a hand to some of your "mates" like IrelandOffline. Given the success the event was today, I dont think there could be any better vindication for that decision.

Once again thanks:)

BTW....
Devore LOL re: The dispute of the €ircom statistic and why ppl give up using the internet. How do they expect to get ppl to shop or bank online when it takes 5 mins for a secure server to open up. Thats why ppl get bored & say shag it and just get into the car and physically go off to do it.
If there was one thing that really pissed me off @ the seminar was the fact €ircom continuously presented stats that were inherently flawed.

Once again thx

No problem, its part of the community idea...

I'm not more involved with IOFFL because I dont think I would add anything to their team and I'm not sure I'd be able to restrain myself from saying things that wouldnt reflect well on the committee.

I can say these things from the outside though.

To be honest I was quite angry yesterday and was as controled as I get. Next time I could be dragged off the stage screaming "MUPPETS YOU'RE ALL MUPPETS!!!"

DeVore.

Well done to the good people of Ireland Offline, and it's supporters, who have raised these issues, and asked the tough questions.

Probably won't change much in the long run, but at least I.O. is being effective as a pressure group in highlighting for us the muppetry at work in the country.

...now, following the seminar, who's for Emigration?

DeV. just in relation to that disputed statistic re: Boredom being the number 1 reason for ceasing use of the Internet.

I could only partially see the source. The 1st was "Amárach" & didn't get the the 2nd.

Does Anyone know what the reputation of this source is?? It is a stat that amazed and also "Soula" by her own admition.

Although I know you may need a lot of patience from time to time using the internet in Ireland, they must have sampled a meeting of Attention Deficite Disorderlies

Anyone know their reputuation??

80p.
SAVE CHIP !!

That's simply not true. Careful about making such statements, Gladiator!

Eircom's quoted data source, which Soula Evans mentioned herself during the presentation (although she couldn't pronounce it properly), was Amárach Consulting ( www.amarach.com ).

It was also mentioned in text on their (admittedly hard to read) PowerPoint presentation.

She said *what*!?!?!

My *SISTER* can't come up with better flamebait than that! And that's saying something

BTW, how did the seminar go? I would have gone if it started after 5:30, but found out too late.

eircon trick, the first stats she said they were from them, she didnt say all the stats she would use were, but people presume all stats after the first one were the same and they may or may no have been, no source was up on hte powerpoint display

thanks for seminar banner ads & publicity !
