I know you take a lot of hits on here...sometimes from me, although I'd classify my occasional jibes as harmless wisecracks rather than tearing the joint apart with rude language. Some of us still appreciate good manners.<br><br>Point being -- I think there are a whole lot of people who check in here with good ideas and positive intentions but a lot of frustrations over the way their individual MNI branches run and the rocky shape of MNI as a whole.<br><br>But I truly appreciate you communicating with us this way and making this outlet available for us to communicate with you.<br><br>And yeah, I'm still Anonymous. Because I need my job.

But both those wars also had *winners*, and that's the lesson for us; I take the saying to mean, "things get decided during the really tough times." Think George Washington at Valley Forge.Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08379598516764590842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312183777522008540.post-24970136249604638822008-07-26T20:38:01.202-07:002008-07-26T20:38:01.202-07:00i thought it was spelled "salon".i thought it was spelled "salon".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312183777522008540.post-82443178077113693382008-07-27T08:30:47.491-07:002008-07-27T08:30:47.491-07:00Howard, I take the Napoleon comment to mean that a...Howard, I take the Napoleon comment to mean that arrogant leadership that's out of touch with realities on the ground can lead you into horrible and bitter defeat and kill off thousands of your troops in the process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
