]]> There is a basic rule of law and background of rulings to law. That is there are time frames to appeal.
If you boss “awards” you a pay or benefit cut or a demotion and you don’t appeal it – whether to them or a governmental agency in due course within a certain limited time frame then lots of luck lol to you.

True you may be afraid of repercussions or upsetting the apple cart – its your lost cause.

Failure to bring attention or appeal the situation , event or events can be seen as acquiescence even approval. Its up to you don’t delay. Failure to bring notice or respond indicates both to the supervisor , boss or employer that you agree with the award , situation or event/s both in a personal, moral and legal framework.

You can bring notice in writing – letter or email, through a 3rd party – such as a lawyer or government agency such as a labour board. Just keep notes and records. Otherwise yet against you will SOL out of luck and screwed once more and again. As if once was not enough.

Check this out from the legal community concerning interactions in the days of technology and the internet fields of marketing and research in terms of the service – or alleged service -  Lexus nexis:

’s funny how some big companies just don’t understand the internet. And it’s infuriating when they breach simple rules of netiquette. LexisNexis wins the Biggest Jerk Award today.

I linked to Lexis

I wrote an article (Lunch, Break, and Hour Laws) over a year ago that linked to one of Lexis’ products. Ironically, that article is the most popular one on my entire site.

I provided a link to Lexis’ lawyer directory, since I thought it added some value to the post. And based on the number of visitors that post receives, I’m sure Lexis has received some traffic from me. I’ve also linked to their sites in other articles throughout my two years of running Legal Andrew.

Lexis complained

A few days ago, I received the following email from a LexisNexis “Content Specialist.” I have added emphasis and removed their links.

Hello,
LexisNexis website ***removed*** has recently upgraded its websites and would you to update/add our links. For generations students have relied on Martindale-Hubbell as the authoritative resource for information on the worldwide legal profession. With a history spanning 140 years, the Martindale-Hubbell Legal Network hopes to provide authoritative legal resources to you.
Please update our links on the following page:

http://www.legalandrew.com/2007/06/07/lunch-break-and-hour-laws-you-should-know/

Please use the following links and text:
Law Firm directory from Martindale
The phrase “Law Firm” should be the clickable link to ***removed***. The following sentence “directory from Martindale” should be plain text (not the clickable link). (”Law Firm” should be the hyperlink)
Also LexisNexis has re-launched its new website for Lawyers.com and would like you to add our links on the page listed above.
Please use the following links and text:
***truncated here***

As you can see, they’re asking for me to change the links that I have given them to use the specific anchor text they’re targeting. And they want me to add links to their other sites.

Let me think about that… HECK NO!

What self-respecting website owner would EVER ask someone to do this? “Hey, thanks for the link. But please use the proper anchor text.”

I tried to educate Lexis

What kind of blogger would I be, if I didn’t help Lexis understand their error?

I responded to Lexis’ email:

I understand that you are just doing your job, but I am insulted by this email. I hope you can pass that along to your supervisor.
I included Martindale in an article I wrote over a year ago. I essentially gave LexisNexis free publicity, traffic, and search engine “juice.”
And now I receive this email from you guys that I need to update that link to reflect your targeted anchor text. AND I should add your other links as well. That is not the way to do business online and create goodwill among internet publishers.
I would be happy to have LexisNexis advertise on www.LegalAndrew.com. I would even consider a barter agreement, where LexisNexis could sponsor my blog, and I could receive free research access. Feel free to call or email to discuss this idea.

I sent that on August 13. As of this article’s publication (August 30), I haven’t heard anything back.

That must mean that Lexis doesn’t care about its completely rude behavior. They don’t want to be a member of the online community. They just want to dominate the search engines. Jerks.

No more links from me

I have now removed ALL Lexis links from my websites. It’s the least they deserve. I encourage you do to the same.

Yes, I’m mad. Maybe I’m petty, but that’s ok.

Will Lexis care?

When I wrote about a Fastcase problem, the CEO called me. He worked things out pretty well. Fastcase obviously cares about its users and its online image.

Now I’m curious if anyone from Lexis will contact me about this post. I’ll certainly let you know if they

It can be said in life and in reality very little is new. Most has been thought up or used before . No that there is anything wrong in this . Why waste time reinventing the wheel. True the tools do change but the uses and the problems or situations they solve remain the same. [...]



]]> It can be said in life and in reality very little is new. Most has been thought up or used before . No that there is anything wrong in this . Why waste time reinventing the wheel. True the tools do change but the uses and the problems or situations they solve remain the same. For example most people use their powerful computer (Core2 duo 8 million Gigs etc etc etc) , as little more than furniture or most proudly as “Solitaire Machines”.The vast majority of the rest do simple email , with such foolish and security desperate hacked programs as “Outlook Express”.

It the same and similar with management. Each claims that a new idea is 100 % theirs or at the best / worst the application of the principles of the program are “entirely theirs”. On the other side if the program fails you can bet your bottom dollar that no one will be there to talk credit and responsibility except a “faceless committee” of which non of the former self proclaimed stalwarts held any authority or sway.

“I was just a small man”…. “I was just following company procedure / procedures / emails / edicts ” etc etc etc .

Where have you heard this before ?
