Zen, where do you find this stuff? Great paper imagine if a produvtive company operated this way instead of a pirate company.
In this instance, credit is due to this board's most notorious gadfly, Fabius Maximus, who kindly sent it to me via email last week. I also peruse a few h-net listservs and more blogs and think tank sites than I care to name.
Hi Zen,Fabius as we say in Alabama. "You dun good"
