Joe, The fat man is quite welcome at the buffet, especially if he brings friends and tips well. That's the buffet's target market: folks who aren't satisfied with a smaller portion. The unwelcome guy is the smelly slob who spills half his food, complains, spends most of 4 hours occupying the table yelling into a cell phone (with food still in his mouth and in a foreign language to boot), burps, farts, leaves no tip and generally makes the restaurant an unpleasant place for anyone else to be.
What exactly does this imply, though, from a networking point of view?
That the unpleasant nuisance who degrades everyone else's service and bothers the staff gets encouraged to leave. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin herrin () dirtside com bill () herrin us 3005 Crane Dr. Web: <http://bill.herrin.us/> Falls Church, VA 22042-3004
