> 4. Marketeting people
phhhtttt! Excuse me for a moment while I clean my monitor.

"Marketeting" people are Webmasters as much as they are Automotive
Engineers.
"Uh, yeah - I'm from marketing, and I think the horsepower could be
increased in the new model by <insert stupid, clueless suggestion here>."

"Marketeting" people are the ones who are totally clueless and say things
like...
"It is not acceptable that the Session cannot be kept alive without making a
trip back to the Server." and
"What's the problem? Can't you just put an If... Then in there?"

You're probably just like this dumbass Sals Manager where I work.
We had an extremely complex install going on that was going to take almost 3
hours. He wanted to demo the site for the customer, before they left town in
a half hour. When told how long it would be, he informed us that these were
very important customers, and there *must* be a way to "make it happen".

Sorry, but Sales & Marketing people are pretty much idiots about everything
except Sales & Marketing. Kinda like the commercial where the 2 consultants
tell the boss that they don't actually implement the suggestions they are
making.
