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.

So it seems that he might have a hard time admitting there was a problem.

FY(and everyone else's)I.
