Hi, 21cf - It is not my "usual style" to "jump on" people. Sometimes, though, I get the distinct impression that people are posting matters as "fact" when they only represent "opinion". For instance, there are a number of posters who have harped incessantly on "management incompetence". I took issue with that a number of months ago. What am I trying to say, by debating that issue? Only that it may be so - but that it's not proven. However, those who dislike logical debate are prone to take offense. The assumption is that everyone who questions the veracity of a negative opinion is an unthinking 'bot, always in favor of everything management does. Not so; like everyone else, I have questions: sources of concern. I view many of RK's statements with a jaundiced eye. In retrospect, some of her decisions appear to have been mistakes. Is a mistake (or are "mistakes") incompetence? Seems to me it's a question of degree. Posters who are careless with their facts, who dismiss logic in favor of unsubstantiated conclusions, and who elevate opinion above all else are the norm. You say "I, too, do despair at the lack of business acumen in this company and, to be brutally frank, on this board." Your despair may be justified, if it means that your view has not been joined by a groundswell of support, from those who regard your case as "proven". Unfortunately, I do not regard it as proven, and therefore I cannot join the condemnation that you and many others heap on RK and DMX. Do I see areas of concern? Do I have unanswered questions? Damned right I do. Do I agree with the sense (if not the literal wording) of your final statement? Of course I do; I've been saying that for months. Are you wrong? No: I'm saying you may be right. Suspicion is not proof. Perhaps I can visualize scenarios where RK's actions make more sense to me than they do to you. Regards, Jim
