I'm sure it will be helpful for some people out there. I just wished they'd also contribute code directly back to it. Would make it a better tool over time. We'll see if the new sourceforge setup will help with that. Cheers, Silvia. Hi Andrew :-)

I just had someone contact me by email asking about how to get hold of code/information for Maaate (no idea how they picked me out of everyone at CSIRO). Anyway, thanks to having recently seen this post in my RSS reader, I was able to point them over to the new SF site. So, there's at least one happy person out there trying to use your old code :-) Cheers, Andrew Good timing with this post, Silvia.

If he was firstly I don't think that he would be using that sort of language if he intends on remaining an employee. However in his defence if he is a reseller I can understand his displeasure in Dave's comments about the "sharp things" - I found that more offensive. Love Child - if your out there - make your point, but keep it clean huh? If you are a face to face Telstra representative as you say you are then why don't you just contribute to this blog by expressing your experiences. Is it true that you tell stories to get the customers believing that you are there for a service related issue then try to sell them something? Whats the real deal?

Their sales training is clearly turning out high quality staff..... or maybe they only employ cretins in the first place. Could be part of the interview process or the job application: "Applicant must have proven ability to act in the most loathsome manner possible. Experience in the backstreet thugging or pimping industries will be to advantage."

Of course they want to be freindly to Sign you up you Ignaramis... Imagine if you walked into a car yard and all the sales guy said was Pee Off you stupid Cow ... Sure your going to buy a car off them arn`t you ...NOT... See my point, In sales you have to win the person over before you get the sale...Its as simple as that !!!! Just by talking to someone I can tell you within the first 20seconds if ill get the sale or not, its whether you connect or not and your clearly not going to sign up or buy of someone you dont like are you ... I just dont see what your issue is ?? If the rep has clearly lied about the plan or services than fair enough you`ve got a point and perhaps then they should be stabbed with shap things but untill that happends Silvia Its you thats the troll .....

With the kind of post you made above, you're certainly not doing Telstra a favor. If instead you are just a troll, please leave my blog alone or I will have to remove your posts. Now to the one point that you are making "understand the basic fundamentals of YES and NO". The problem is not that I wasn't able to say yes or no. The problem is that instead of asking a direct question to which I would have been able to say yes or no, I was loomed into a friendly chat about my current provider and then slammed over the head with false information. I was very well capable of saying NO after that and I did. But I disapprove of the unethical approach to asking the question by making me a friend and then making look incompetent to force me to make a favorable decision towards Telstra. Yes, in this way it would most certainly not be hard to win a customer back to Telstra, because most people out there simply do not have enough knowledge to fight the fud. Hi telstras love child,
