re: comparing ml to the vatican... understood completely...i'm catholic with franciscan tor, and jesuit education....we sometimes forget the political nature of the catholic religion..and how a structured mindset reacts in business....let's not be so sensitive and politically correct...a historic analogy (remember the crusades and spanish inquisition?) sometimes applicable to current business methods...japanese do it all the time...as in a samurai business method (book of five rings)...i'm sure no harm intended, let's move on to MAKING MONEY!

~OT~ I'm sure that you can see how your comments, although not intended to slam contemporary catholics, can be construed as such an attack. I understood from the beginning what you were trying to communicate, but nevertheless, the metaphor/comparison is objectionable in the sense that it shows a bit of insensitivity (consciously or subconsciously, it doesn't matter which). BTW, I still have respect for you, and appreciate your posts (generally <GGG>). Regards, LoD
