Steve,
You don't, per chance, mean to suggest that random back-office
technical staff might not have the temper and disposition to remain
polite and helpful with the gentleman from the state capital so upset
about the interdiction of his political mailings that he's ready to
sic the regulators on you and wipe you off the map?
The problem is that the individual who -does- have those skills along
with the technical know-how to deal with the complaint itself usually
ALSO has the skills to be the customer contact for a multi-million
dollar contract. If you're a manager at a company that wants to, well,
make money, which chair will you ask that individual to sit in?
Regards,
Bill
