Jay Cross: “There is very little traffic on the site.”

Fact: Corporate Leaning Forum has 1,231 members, including nearly 2/3 of the training departments within Fortune 500 companies. In its first year 3,725 messages were posted to the Corporate Leaning Forum. Not a single contribution was posted by Jay Cross.

Jay Cross: “CramerSweeney, the advertising and PR firm that cooked this up, never made a comment. Not one. You’d think their “eLearning Division” would answer at least one question, but you’d be wrong.”

Fact: CramerSweeney Advertising & Design, Inc. did not “cook up” this idea; it was created and funded entirely by CramerSweeney Instructional Design, LLC, whose employees also posted 48 questions/answers throughout the past year. Since CramerSweeney Instructional Design is the founder, we are very careful not to dominate the exchange of information. Furthermore, CramerSweeney Instructional Design pays for its message sponsorship, as do three other companies. That funding is a vital part of what makes CLF the most active Listserv in the training industry–in contrast to “what’s available for free.”

Jay Cross: “The questions and format of the Corporate Learning Forum were so lame that I hung in there just for laughs but eventually had to drop out.”

Fact: Characterizing the questions posted to CLF by your own peers as “lame” is an astonishing assertion coming from a man who calls himself a “champion of learning.” Shame on you, Dr. Cross.

It’s true that we can provide substantial savings on almost any
multi-media, Web, or CD project. But it’s also true that we can provide
graphic design, programming and production that will match any that you
could find anywhere. And we take great pride in meeting both the budget and
the schedule.

We’re MVS Softech Ltd (MVS). We are a growing organization that serves
clients in the United Kingdom, the United States, India, and a number of
other countries.
