Indeed, it seems to me that the old man has become out of touch with our world
as he seems to enjoy very much the lifestyle of upper management shuffles. He
seems to think that the best way to solve a problem is to steal executives
from other companies. What I would like to see is the gradual promotion of
managers which have been faithful with the company for a long time. They
understand much better the company's situation and thus are better armed to
deal with its devellopment. Can you imagine how much better CBM (CIL) would be
with Carolyn at the helm? I'm sure we would see some more dollars put into
R & D.

I can forgive the old man for spending much time under the sun, but bringing
the 'official' CIL headquarters along was going too far. In fact I still hold
a grudge for taking the company out of Canada.
