Hmm, lemme see, I guess I'd better try posting my question again, because I still don't seem to be getting an actual response from you. If you don't *want* to address it, fine, just say so. No need to go to all the trouble of typing in a lot of irrelevant filler. Here we go: No, think about it for a second, Vaj. How *else* could he have ensured that Guru Dev got the credit for the good stuff without also making him the target of the inevitable criticisms? To put it slightly differently: I can't think of another approach that would not have allowed Guru Dev to come in for criticism, to at least share the blame with MMY for whatever wasn't working. Yet MMY has set it up so that he, MMY, gets *all* the criticism; and he quite insistently gives all the credit to Guru Dev. I'm really not sure how what he's done can be reasonably interpreted any other way. If it were all ego and a desire to take the credit for himself, why would he continue to give it to Guru Dev? And given that he has ensured Guru Dev will get none of the criticism, how can it conceivably be said, as Ingegerd did, that he is using Guru Dev as an *alibi*? If you have any intelligent response, I'd be really interested to hear it. But just dismissing what I said as a "desperate rationalization" doesn't cut the mustard. ------------------------ Yahoo!
