I'm thinking about controlling the conversation aren't I? Wrong. Futile. (I guess I don't quite get it yet. Soon.) You’re right. I’m thinking about controlling the conversation aren’t I? Wrong.

Gotta move fast in these new times...

Watch people evoke the Kryptonite factor for every case of customer service through denial. This is going to be big. I'll bet someone does Dan Rather soon.
