Because the sentence wouldn't make sense otherwise. I can't see on
which scenario will Michael find appealing to loose all the engineers
Sun brings to the project? This is what I call a typo.
He didn't say 'appealing', he said 'appalling'.
The only typo was 'loose' rather than 'lose'.
Then again you can email him to verify this line. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It's Michael Meeks' message that you're replying to.

I mean it would[n't] be appalling to loose Sun and the talent of engineers
they bring in....I just think it's a shame that Sun is having this great
engineering culture but when it comes to managing things it gets really
painful.
A journalist has to find an edge somewhere to make people read a story.
It is sad to see you adding a [n't] of your own to the text though; it
reads:
"Meeks: Actually I don't know if that would be an entirely negative
thing. I mean it ***would*** be appalling to loose Sun and the talent of
engineers they bring in,"
emphasis *** added myself; cf:

Why tweak it like that yourself ?

Michael [ on FTO & unable to respond more fully ].
