Todd:
Thanks for selecting ZUG to be in the top 5% of the web! We've been waiting
for this day for a long time!
Since you read ZUG diligently, you know that we offer our own award, the
ZUG-O-RIFIC(tm) award, to those who positively review our site. Needless to
say, this is an honored bestowed upon very few.
A note on our ZUG-O-RIFIC(tm) badge: in our recent contest to see who could
design the most attractive ZUG-O-RIFIC(tm) logo, it was David Price's entry
that caught our fancy. David is a six-year old, differently-enabled child
from Austin, Texas. The lettering is a bit difficult to read, but David's
hope and spirit are behind every badge. And that's what ZUG is all about.
If you could display your ZUG-O-RIFIC(tm) badge by next Wednesday, we'd
appreciate it. We're talking to some investors, and it would really impress
them.
Thanks again!

Hi Todd.
I was wondering if you received our ZUG-O-RIFIC badge, and if you've
displayed it on Pointcom yet. I went to Point Search and searched on
"ZUG-O-RIFIC," "RIFIC," and "monkeys." I realize "monkeys" has nothing to do
with our badge, but I'm just interested in the topic.
David Price, the interestingly-intelligenced child who designed the
ZUG-O-RIFIC badge, keeps calling us and asking when it will be featured on
Point. Every time I tell him it's not up there, he begins to cry. Please
Todd, do it for the child.
Looking forward to a response from you!

After I sent out that last message, I realized I hadn't put any of the (tm)
symbols behind ZUG-O-RIFIC(tm). Rest assured that our registered trademark
still holds. Violation of our trademark is a legal breach punishable by law.
Thanks again!

We normally don't display badges, but I will ask again.
We will try however I can't ensure the badge will be put up.

As of this writing, our badge has not been displayed. And I think it's safe to say we've lost the Pointcom ad account.  |
