Dear Webby, There is also Web creativity which you can use, apart from the warmth of Mudcats everywhere. For instance -- this is a true story -- I have a friend who was laid off from a really scummy company, and she was sitting around with some other friends one day feeling sorry for herself, and then after a few drinks they cooked up the idea of creating a Web page telling the truth about the company and made sure that they had all the keyword searches lined up, so that whenever anyone searched for the company on the Web, they found her page (with a slightly different URL). This lasted about one week, and then the lawyers got on to her, and she told them that the rules about this sort of thing were not altogether clear yet on the Web, and so on. The company informed her about a week later that she was getting a "revised" severance package, several thousand dollars richer, to get rid of the site.

It pays to advertise.

Yours, Peter T.
