"Flabbergasting, Fiona! I did the math, and rather than bore you with math, I'm guessing a spam filter must do most of the comment moderating. Take my word, there's no way 30 people can moderate 3,000,000 comments a month comment-by-comment. Good article. Duncan"Before You Can Multiply You Must First Learn To Divide
"As to the 1st example - Shelby Montana went bankrupt guaranteeing Jack Dempsey $300,000 to fight Tommy Gibbons (who went 15rds. w/Dempsey but got nothing) in 1923. Only the Manassa Mauler & Doc Kearns (his manager) made out. Shelby should've offered a % of the gate. ($300k was a Small purse for Dempsey then.) Duncan"Are We Really Better Off Today?
"Maybe a little better off, Coach - now we can buy a complete TV season on DVD for $40 & watch w/no commercials (even a 60 year old show). That's improved my quality of life some. Medicine, while crazy-expensive, has improved leaps & bounds, we landed on the Moon, there was no WWIII, racial & gender equality are much closer than they were, and automobiles are safer with better mileage (safety standards have improved all over). But I like your points - it ain't all better than it was in '50. Long distance is cheaper, too. (I can think of Lots of things that are better now, but I gotta move on - progress.) Duncan"The End Of Google Analytics?
"Hi Beatrice! I don't mind sharing links & such, but I'm pretty private when it comes to my spending/buying habits - basically my habits, likes, and dislikes, period. If I buy a DVD of "Mission: Impossible" from Amazon, I don't want it analyzed (maybe it isn't even for me), and I don't want them attempting to anticipate what I might like based on what I've searched. Most of all, I don't want them emailing "suggestions", "reminders" & "deals". Maybe it's a good thing they're doing. Duncan"How Would Shakespeare Handle SEO
"Sad, but true, Rich. Artful article, by the way. I don't think Beethoven or Da Vinci would do well today, either. Three things they had then that are gone now are: time, true quiet, and a first class apprentice system passing on the knowledge of previous giants. Instead, we have keywords, a media stranglehold - and No Quiet!!! (I'm yelling the last like rage-aholic George on Seinfeld.) Thanks for sharing. Duncan"Subscribe
