No, so I tried a Google search and got, Your search - "acronymic client manager" - did not match any documents. So quite obviously there is no such thing. |

If you see my previous reply to this question then you'll realise that
the authors tongue was firmly in his proverbial cheek. Mizter T wrote: Andy Kirkham wrote: Does anyone know what an "acronymic client manager" is? You have to read the piece to understand the context! "...Over the next few years, much hard work was done on the project. Many vital, mission-critical abbreviations had to be constructed. It is a task that engineers love, and the resulting alphabetical thicket, delivered in time and on budget, is engineering at its best..." "...RLE, URN, CORBER, LUL, PPP, DfT, MRSSC, CTW, WA, DA, SRA..." |

ups.com That's fascinating. I'm surprised I've heard so little about this in the newspapers and on the broadcast news, I'd have expected more controversy. If the Midland could dig up thousands of festering corpses without too much of a kerfuffle why would there be controversy 140 years later over a few odd bones? Frenchmen's bones at that! I was a gravedigger in the school holidays many years ago in Epsom. In the chalklands bodies rot away after 50 years, the gravestone is cleared and the plot is resold. There's an 1827 map of the St Pancras area showing the churchyards half way down this link. http://www.stpancras.150m.com/ -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

In case you didn't know "whois" is the official way of discovering things about low-level stuff on the Internet - DNS names, address assignments and so on. The entry suggests that 150m.com has breached somebody's terms and conditions and isn't (currently) available. Some parts of the Internet may still have working details cached but people who haven't been there before can't get there now. Sam |

No the site wasn't going any where earlier, but its fine now apart when you click on the pictures as if to expand them, they come back original size. Anyway apart from that, very interesting....
