[asterisk-biz] [REALLY REALLY OT]

[Steve Totaro]

Getting back to "on-topic" for a tech business list, let's make this 
thread title "Common Sense Business Practices".

If "getting off my high horse" means lowering my business standards, 
then I will have to decline your suggestion.

Maybe it is just my business sense, but I think it is best to leave drug 
use and offensive (to some) statements such as "Jesus Christ" out of 
business conversations.  They scream "Unprofessional" and "Unreliable" 
(to me at least) unless you are a drug dealer/supplier or in the 
religion biz which is not what this list is for.

To add something constructive here, I also would never purchase from 
anyone who bashes or otherwise insults their competition.

Anyone is free to express themselves and do as they wish as long as they 
accept the consequences and/or objections. 

Thanks,
Steve
