Paul, you might want to pass on this anecdote from me...
A couple months ago, when I was talking to a couple people at NetSol about their failure to perform certain tasks that they were supposed to be performing, David Holtzman blew up at me. He was incensed that I'd even *imply* that they weren't perfect or even that they weren't doing an adequate job.
