Invariably, And this is always true because I use the word "Invariably". I also use the word "Envitable" which is a cross between Evitable (as in avoidable) and Enviable, just to confuse matters. > > the mass consumer marketing company ends up saying it has better > production methods and knows the customer better, with the effect of > killing the culture that created the acquired business in the first > place. > > Buy your SB's now, because they ain't going to get any better.
