The sure sign someone else is bored out of his gourd and has tuned out of the conference call. A wonder it doesn’t happen more often than it does. Which is often. Let’s take that off line.

And at your leisure can either (a) mute him (if you’re a nice guy) or, better still, cue up a devastating conference call ambush.

But watch out for the guy who has anticipated your move here. Keyboard clatter can sometimes be a double-bluff.
