[Ipg-smz] I got this stupid response from a Gartner analyst today about a query I sent to him...

[Gina Smith]

Perhaps the analyst is working with that specific company on a project --
they do that. And he didn't want to say he couldn't give you an objective
opinion? So he gave you that bogus response.

Or maybe he's just nuts.

Let us know how he responds, Todd. That is weird.
