Gary Boye, was that insult aimed at salespeople in general, forum members in general, or just this thread's participants?

I'm sure it was aimed at whoever cared to receive it.
I've had my fill of this thread. I set out to learn more about elevator speeches by asking some probing questions instead of assuming the value of it just because it is an accepted technique or people who write books say so. In real life, it didn't work for me. I wanted to see if that was the case for others as well.
I've heard all I care to hear on the topic. As the author of this thread, I am no longer soliciting participation. If you have an ax to grind or a bone to pick--do it elsewhere.
Frankie, you did not even make a single contribution to this thread that was on topic. Why are you posting in it at all? Did you vote? Do you use elevator speeches? Do you have opinions about elevator speeches that go beyond ridiculing me for questioning their usefulness?
THAT WAS PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD. It was a genuine inquiry--not a spitting match--which is what it has become. I can assure you that I will not be starting any controversial threads designed to ask probing questions and make people question the norm on this forum--any time soon--if at all.
