Strictly Business?

I will always take time to chat if I have the time, and if I don't I'm usually direct, but invite them to hit me up later when I'm less busy.

I also try to gauge the tone of the other person... if they are completely businesslike, I usually follow, but if they indicate they're interested in general chitchat, I'm happy to spend a few minutes. I think that program owners who don't are shooting themselves in the foot.

most of us try and chat IF we have the time, but the truth is that it is our working time. if someone icq's me, it's at least an 80% chance that i'm either doing writing for a client - which needs me to stay in the vibe as much as possible - or else i'm doing video stuff, working on my new project or my new tour for our current site or consulting with someone on the phone or another icq box. something like that.

most webmaster i know are working hard if they're online, and when they want to chat, they come to a board where they can sort of chat with everyone at once. and when i'm not working hard, i'm either asleep or offline - as are many webmasters i know.

my ICQ is not listed here but it's used for buisness. if you want to speak/meet with me it has to start here. (interpreted: unless your a model/staff or one of my accounts your not going to get it.)

sincerely ~ ..."let's keep this just between our ICQ's"... :fool:
