MARK: NO MORE T&A | 2007-04-09
Bob, TA has a slightly different connotation to my generation (early 40's) than it possibly does with you. When I think of TA I instantly focus on the old rock band the Tubes who had half naked girls dancing in the background, among other things. How about calling them Technical Managers, or Problem Solvers, or Enlisted Men? Anything but T&A.

ME:
Good Lord! You can REALLY tell I'm getting old when the only thing that the letters T and A remind me of is the internet!!!
As of now, I will, subject to Sarge's consulting his dirty little mind for approval, rename the group Blog Fixers. I thought about Blog Workers, but BW would cause confusion. I am not wedded to it, so if anyone has a better suggetion bring it on.
Lord Nelson also responded to the old name by mentioning he was not good at technical stuff. The term is misleading that way, too. I am prospecting for talent and independent doers in general and beginning to start delegating inside our seminar, so the term "technical" doesn't really cover it.
This is a critical stage. Henry Ford was asked about what he would do if government socialized his company. He responded, "They can take my plant. What I need is my PEOPLE. If I can keep my team, I'll STAY rich."
