If it were all down to management --------- Steve Jobs would be playing with the grandkids now he is not ---------- all the money, all the power - meant nothing

@pintohoo why do you interact with these people? they are simply people who are dissatisfied with their lives for reasons which are not obvious. Yes, they have a political agenda, but they are also not well educated going by the repetitiveness of their absurd epiteths for people they don't like - or most people have forgotten the meaning of, unless they are obsessed. So: enjoy your life, improve the quality by not reading or answering posters on this thread. By answering, you give their lives meaning - think of it. Go well Taurisk
