The power of suggestion.....
Posted by GordonH, 05-08-2001, 01:54 PM Hello is anyone out there writing a Psychology thesis for a PHd? On Friday we sent a notice to all our hosting customers notifying them that on Monday we would have two servers offline from 12:00 - 17:00 EST while they were being moved to another NOC. For various reasons it was postponed until Thursday. before we could get an e-mail out about the change of plan I got three e-mails saying: "The length of this down time is unacceptible - when will me site be back up?" [no sites were down, we hadn't actually done anything..... and there was no down time recorded for any other reason...] After the "move" we got another e-mail saying: "This is a huge improvement - everything is so much faster." Remember - nothing had happened, they just *thought* it had. Now, the question is, how can I use this previously unknown psychic ability to persuade people to give me large sums of money? Gordon
