This looks copied and pasted. And SomethingSimple's awkward signature doesn't inspire much confidence.

Ilan I'm an online Market search Consultant for FountainPenn Enterprise it is my job to promote there service anyway I can by advertisement the information I recieve from my boss which is

Danielle-Kim Davis
Marketing Dir/Vice President

This is a great company I work for, in what is wrong with my signature?

Ilan Bouchard · 09-28-2005, 08:02 PM

I'm not saying it isn't a great company. I just found everything a bit cryptic, as some was in caps, and it didn't have a clean paragraph to explain how it works.
There's nothing wrong with the site; I didn't mean to give that impression.

Your signature seems awkward to me because it doesn't seem to follow a full thought through. It starts with "Something Simple" which is fine, but then switches to creation "because when you create you're creating" and then finishes with mention of style.
Again, nothing wrong with it. I'm not out to attack your company. That was just my initial feedback.

Oh that's my poetry site logo sorry that doesn't have anything to do with FountainPenn the company I work for. Something Simple is the name of my poetry site. I'm so sorry again. I did that because that's my user name for this forum but I ment Michelle Obie for Fountainpenn. I hope that makes since to you did it did to me. Between my two jobs I really don't have time to talk about FountainPenn like I want but this Friday I can I got the whole day off so if you have any questions you like to ask I can sure answer them for you. I hope this helps much again sorry.
