GV- I agree with your points which you can confirm have been made many times on this very thread. That said, there will always be a healthy competitve spirit between likes, even though the pie is HUGE. Further, talking about hostility- did you see the hatchet job that Fortune did on BR recently? Did you hear that copies of it were purportedly given to TGNT salespeople to take to potential customers? And I disagree about the book cooking comp - if TGNT tanked, after a brief initial uncertainty, WCII would likely get a large amount of TGNTs market cap. (on a powder break at Deer Valley)

I agree with some of what you say. It's definitely sour grapes, I'll freely admit that (at least on my part). We may well be in the same boat, but for all the respect we get (from the media and the street) it sometimes feels like Alex and the boys are smoking hand-rolled Cuban cigars and enjoying champagne and caviar on the First Class deck while we have been relegated to pot-scrubbing in the galley. It's hot and uncomfortable down here, damn it, and we want a deck chair with a view, too!
