I don't think it's "impertinent" to comment on just one aspect of the
tide of Newspeak gibberish we are bombarded with every day. If we are
information workers one of our concerns should be the clear transmission
of that information with minimal verbiage. Obviously in my postings I
was not criticizing Carol personally.
I still don't understand what "quality systems" are supposed to be,
since the term is grand-sounding but vague, a bit like the "pursuit of
excellence".
