I just wanted to say a hearty THANKS!! for all the input I've received
about this topic. There is a veritable wealth of knowledge and wisdom
on these lists. Maybe we should incorporate! Together we'd practically
be a monopoly! Anyway, I haven't had time to respond to all the
messages (30 so far), but I intend to do so.
I'll let you know what happens after the meeting tomorrow. You might
pray for me between 10 and noon Pacific. :-) I've decided what to tell
these guys. I was inspired by yesterday's Daily Dilbert calendar. In
case you didn't see it, it went like this:
Dogbert: From now on, I'm going to charge anybody who gives me their
opinion. People are idiots. If I have to listen to their opinions, I
deserve compensation.
Dilbert: You're forgetting that "from the mouths of
babes....comes....something good."
Dogbert: That'll cost you a buck.
