Who do we talk to to get this corrected? + +Anyway, whichever way we go, or don't go, I was pretty tired when I did +the first write ups, so again, apologies for the typos :) + +Also, I was blowing through those last two posts so fast I think I was +thinking SugarSync, then somehow SugarCRM got into my head when I meant +to say VTiger CRM, rather than TigerCRM LOL! + +It's good stuff, I support about 30 instances of it in various +enterprises, and can serve the entire organization or just marcom, +whichever. + +I recommend the marcom team members each have a look at it here: +<A HREF="http://www.vtiger.com/">http://www.vtiger.com/</A> + +Finally, I have to go back and ask again, "Who is, or collectively are, +the people responsible for posting such possibly inappropriate material +on our facebook page like: +<A HREF="http://www.facebook.com/Mageia#!/photo.php?fbid=1371504459899&set=o.157247240967735&theater">http://www.facebook.com/Mageia#!/photo.php?fbid=1371504459899&set=o.157247240967735&theater</A> +??? + +Is that the kind of message we want to put out there?
