I thought that you wanted a poll. Besides, check the spelling... It's not a poll.

I could do a query of the member list if you think that would help. Flump starts with an F even though it could be creatively spelled with a PH I guess.

Staying around to fight that battle is a poor use of my time, rarely profitable, and infuriating for both me and the client.

It sounds like you're hijacking your own thread - is that possible? Surely the aim of a "quote of the week" should be to highlight peoples original (and hopefully unintentional) quotes on the forum.

Businesses that succeed in the long run look at the big picture and consider the total cost of operations, so they value getting things done right the first time.
Three different perspectives, three different sets of values, three different sets of behavior. Voila!
