Just before we close down in our last couple of minutes, we have been talking about the culture of corruption and cronyism and incompetence, zeroing in on incompetence today, and we are about third party validators. It is not just that we say it. We got an e-mail on our 30-Something Web site that responded to some of the things we have been talking about.

I could not have said it better myself. {time} 2310
