"Yes," says Clark, "but it will be a big transition for people accustomed to wearing highly cushioned, inflexible shoes. The foot muscles are weak and need to time to adjust." Not such a bad thing, he believes. "Trainers artificially allow unfit people to run longer than their bodies are conditioned for. It's rather like hitting yourself over the head while wearing a crash helmet: it might not hurt immediately but the long-term harm is obvious."

But I rail against the idea that we need to accept intrusive online advertising just because “that’s the way things have always been.” There are many constructs—advertising, copyright—that we treat as if they are immutable laws of nature when in fact they may be outmoded business concepts more suited to the last century (if they ever really worked at all).

That's how I roll.

The “management team” isn’t the “decision making” team. It’s a support function. You may want to call them administration instead of management, which will keep them from getting too big for their britches.
