grrr... computer gremlins...

thank you, Rob for getting the point I was trying to make.

We once had a thriving salt mine nearby that was privately owned for a century... they sold out to a multi-national, who ignored advice from the miners and cut corners - or pillars to be precise- resulting in the collapse of the mine and a local disaster. bean counters not only didn't save any money - they "cooked their goose" instead.

I think eveyone can come up with stories along that vein. So the question is, what do we do about it?
