Yes. They pay the salary for some of us. We're STILL not special, and we
STILL don't have the ability to reach in and influence the business
units. We've said that time and again as well.

Do try to keep up when you're telling others to keep up.



Now, the point of saying that was to say this: Lets at least pretend to
be civil on this list. You've come storming into the list, with a
condescending attitude, talking down to several. Do you honestly feel
that being an asshole on the list helps your cause? If the merits of
your argument are sound, it'll speak for itself. Being an asshole
actually HURTS your cause and weakens your argument.

Please be civil on the list.
