[Ipg-smz] Another day, another puzzling PR pitch lede...

[Evan Schuman]

Someone once decided that I am a lawyer (I'm not) and that my company is a
law firm (it's not). I have zero idea where they came up with this, but I
must get 4 or 5 pitches a week based on this wacky false assumption.

Yeah, but they are working from the CES list, so it's not one of the other
Daniel Dern's (there's a few, none related to me).

I understand why folks (not part of the CES kfluffle) mistakenly believe I
work for Pair (although how that got them to "As PAIR CTO, you..." Etc.

Similarly, one local mini-expo keeps re-pitching me to sponsor a table/etc.
I have, over the past 3-4 years, written this person multiple times,
politely saying "I ain't a vendor, I ain't a potential sponsor, take me off
your list." I never hear back, other than the same damn pitch the following
year.
