Hang with me. I'll get to my point in a moment.

I spoke with an Aetna rep last week. I was complaining that the new "Value" plan and the "Preventative" plans have been taken out of the brochure. I was wondering why.

The rep explained that although these plans are still available to be written, Aetna does not want to actively market them because they are "stripped down" plans. (Take some notes on this Assurant!)

OK...Here's the point of this thread. By merely posting the contents of my conversation with the Aetna rep...have I crossed the line regarding privacy.

On occasion, I will post summaries of conversations I have had with various lead companies, and even copy and paste contents of emails.

Actually, I think many of us do this.

Is it a privacy issue?

Just curious what your thoughts are.

If they ask you to keep it between you...it's OUT. If they don't have this expectation...it's IN.

Was the "cone of silence" used? If so, you better "get smart" and not repeat conversations.

Frank...You're always causing chaos. Well...at least 86% of the time.

[Frank Stastny]

I usually max well over that number so I can live with that.

I'm not sure I understand. Why not?

[Frank Stastny]

Yes, any factual, helpful information should be shared with others. That's what this board is all about.

If that information should not have been shared with you then the person who gave it to you should have his butt handed to him, not you.

Any idea when Agent 99 is going to show up?

Careful Bob...You may get your nose caught in a closing door.

(Do you remember that?)

[Mr. Bill]

I cannot, with all seriousness, believe there is an expectation of privacy when it comes to plan design - that is public information along with plan benefits. Which is why they have to file that crap with the state DOIs. Therefore, absolutely no privacy issue.

That said, I can't wait for the Get Smart movie, although I'm no fan of either actor...

Wow, based on this, I would buy ileads leads all day long. Oh, lets add in one more factor, average closing percentage, or if you prefer, average premium written per lead.

Ooops, now maybe I crossed the privacy line

Ed -

Can't say I do (nose caught in door).

But I do remember Barbara Feldon. Those big, brown eyes, pouty lips . . .

But I digress . . .

In some of the episodes, near the end of the show...Max would be walking down a hallway, and a pair of swinging doors would close on his nose. Not all of the time though.

A little like when SOMETIMES Dick Van Dyke would trip over the stool...but not all of the time.
