Jack, all your words and insight to me stand hollow against the way things work.

Zeev is a heavy duty type scientist,
and Richard is a top notch engineer+scientist,
and both have been there as active participants in the types of events
that require time tested methodologies. In my option, they both feel that
the current management at GPGI may not have an understanding of what they
are really up against. The fact that the GPGI Company ran its operation
without using procedures that would have controlled and captured activities,
tells me that certain skills were not available. Now a how to do, step by
step, cook book type procedure write up has been created in a couple days
to do what has not been done in the past. Rather than I continue on this
serious note, let me type in a short story we all know.

how to do manual to level a chair

step 1 = modify real time each step if don't work
step 2 = find shortest leg and shorten all other three legs
step 3 = if chair level then done, else go to step 2

For the above example, what if that comic situation happens where the
person doing the shorting doesn't use proper tools and only does the
best he can do with only available limited resources, and the standard
ending of the story happens when all four legs are cut down to stubs.
Ending with just a seat left, no legs.

If GPGI doesn't have the correct tools, it may end up with only the dirt left
and a pile of saw dust that use to be an extraction process.

And Jack, don't size up people by comparing them to others.
Your interpretation has value only to convince yourself of being right.

For example, Albert Einstein used mathematics as a tool in his exploration
of physics. He asked a mathematician skilled in an area he was not, to
help him learn this area. After about ten minutes Einstein stopped the
man and asked him to start over again, and this time go slower. Einstein
told the man "I learn very slowly". Jack, in your past, your business,
what areas needed people types that learned very slowly. Seems like the
people running GPGI learn very fast. I wonder what they learned.

Since GPGI has the handle on the hic-up and does not need help from any
outside source like this thread, then all we can do is talk about it.

I leave this post with a post from the IPMCF thread, modified for GPGI.

as rain is needed before the rainbow
that ends in a pot of gold is gotten
then enought tears from gpgi shareholders
has been sent to the upper sky
to duplicate that what rain will do
and maby soon the tears will end
and your rainbow will appear
with the Mike's Manual at the end
being as good as the pot of gold
at another rainbows end
