I have a proposal for dealing with (punishing) people who make loud

on the train ... buy! ... sell!")

Record the calls or make some note, especially if there's anything
that sounds confidential, and publish transcripts or summaries on the
web or a newsgroup.

Comments?
Suggestions?
Does a site or newsgroup already exist for this?



I sometimes while away those moments by trying to work out what they
actually *do*. It's easy enough to spot the self-confident banter of a
recruitment consultant, for example.

But there is also a large section of middle management types who are far
harder to decipher. They speak entirely in code, punctuated by the odd
surname or location - all very discreet, all total bull****.

Perhaps they don't know what they do themselves - 'I manage, therefore I
am.'
