| So anyway, I had a look at their websitec.f. http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=77200in particular their LOCATION page - which says:"We have satellite offices in Houston, TX, and Pakistan, South Asia."So Houston is a state, and therefore MIGHTY!, where as Pakistan is a country which is merely part of a region - is that right?"Time Management- Ensuring that deadlines are met at all expenses"That'll be expenses (sic) which are charged to the client then, will it?"Always following Best Practice Methodologies"Well, other than spamming for business, that will include forgetting to put a WIDTH and HEIGHT on the image tag on that page, will it? <sigh><img src="imagess/whytenpearls.jpg" alt="TenPearls - Global Marketing and Technical Solutions Provider">"Most of our clients site one or more of the reasons listed below when asked the reason for choosing to work with TenPearls"Is that really the current American spelling for CITE ?"Since ancient times, the pearl has been a symbol of unblemished perfection. It is the oldest known gem, and for centuries considered the most valuable. The Latin word for pearl literally means 'unique', attesting to the fact that no two pearls are identical."Strange that http://www.pearloasis.com/pearlhistory.html choose to steal those exact same words for its web site. Unusual for a site about pearls to steal content from a Web Design company's web site don't you think? Odd also that the Pearl site added more content without changing any that they stole. hang on ... couldn't be the other way round, could it? I wonder if Pearl Oasis know eh?Kristen |

| "Is being literate a requirement to be a spammer?"Nope, I can't spell to save my life; indeed, most of the SPAMs I get are misspelled - deliberately, obviouslyBut that apart: this is a web design company, and very high on my list for anyone building my website would be a decent copy writer / editor - and they would have to be able to correct both spelling and grammar.I wouldn't pay them to be stealing the copy either!Come to think of it: Is Pakistan technically in South Asia? I didn't even know that there was such a locale within the Asian continent. S.E. Asia I've heard of - but it kinda goes East to West, and Pakistan is deffo at the West end and doesn't particular stretch further South than any of the other bits of Asia.I reckon its a Homelands Security Cover ... Damn! Who's that knocking on my door already?? ...Kristen |

| "So if it's a staff of 40, does that mean 6 months each?"<Chuckle>I reckon it means there is one person who knows what they are doing, and the rest were born yesterday ... just like their customers, I expect ...Kristen |
