How soon they forget
I was just writing about LinkedIn again, and was reminded that nobody ever answered the trivia question based on this post:
Who was the original fictitious Rob Carpenter?

Curt,
As I have been doing research for the above ERP history Wiki, I have enjoyed reading your Software Memories. I am also facinated with this marketplace, and know from experience that there are great stories, great companies, great products, great technology, great people. I found it hard to just keep collecting as I decided the best vehicle for getting is all out there. I really think the Wiki is the way to go. Get everyone involved. How about it? Will you jump in?

OK. Time’s up.
Rob Carpenter was the person you asked for on the telephone if you responded to an MSA print ad.
You’re right. There wasn’t anybody by that name. But the two people who handled all the responses in his name were Tim Sullivan and then John Lister, both of whom worked for me when I ran Sales Operations.
The Tim Sullivan who went on to work with Warren Culpepper? HE was the (co)-original Rob Carpenter?
