I must agree with Mark here, no risk systems and guarantee's are fine in theory, yet there has been no practical application of it. Probably because the human condition has not yet been perfected. Methinks Piercarlo opens his mouth a bit too often and frequently tastes foot, for any CEO that does doesn't understand risk and diplomacy as well as a plethora of legal conditions is an anachronism in today's business world. As someone matures into CEO material they have a balance of Assertive business sense coupled with an acceptance of reality. They also KNOW what it is like to have been given sales pitches, and sold a bill of goods. Anyone who expects perfection from ANY employee in light of reality is both immature and irresponsible. (And not likely to rise to the position of CEO anyway) P.S. I realize that much of this is incendiary material, it is , however, incentive for all involved (Myself included) to think before keying responses. This is what I intended to say.... *-----------------------------------------------------------------* * John Grzesiak @ Omega Dynamics : Specializing in UNIX/XENIX * * Meriden Ct USA : Consulting . . . * * jlg@odicon or spock!odicon!jlg : gaboon!odicon!jlg * *-----------------------------------------------------------------*
