This is the mature way that you should have putit the first time. You
should never say bomb to me. Figarative or not. Sorry, I'm not a
businessman. I hate business and Management. Just give me the numbers
and the problem and give you the design. Pretty soon it will be give me
what you want and I'll give you the design. When retiliation is too
swift it is ususally mindless. You could never
be in an international forum of coorperatives. Your explaination is Iaccoco-ish
and you see where he isn't.

This is great! Keep up great work!

This is great too. I really respect a worker who is confident in the companies
policy and politics. I like to see U.S. companies strong and 
making-money. As I said in my freshmen year in college the more money
America makes the more money it makes for Nippon.(because of the
American consumer's intelligence to selection of great products. Of
course  coupled with our design of iuntelligent products). But people
like this people wants to limited the American consumers choice. They
don't like working with us. They just work with us to "steal" our
competiveness. We should turn our attention to Asia. Let the
North Vietnamese deal with the West. They can handle it in a different
manner then we can.

'Nuff said.

No. Not 'nuff said.

I like the tone and some of the content of this post. Much more mature.
Yes! Even informative. Thank you!
