I'm afraid I can only find it amusing, David. Possibly because I'm too
marginal to feel threatened by anything out of the business world's
mindset. Which, by the way, I think is as inappropiate for business
most of the time as it is for the arts. Not up to saying more about
it. Just had to make my little pop-off.
all best, Bob
