Chris This question I asked in 2005 before changing to BP. The same queston was asked years ago when Frank was still MD1 & 2. As you know when Frank left HCN MD kept going, but how well is the question, going by some complaints. If Frank vanishes tomorrow BP will keep going - he made sure that he won't leave his users in the lurch. If you contact him or his manager Lorraine, they can explain what plans they have, if that ever happened. It is not fair of me to comment any further as I am only a user and not a staff member etc. But I am satisfied and is why I jumped ship more than a year ago.

Does BP have enough installed users that it would survive in the event (heaven forbid) that Frank had a heart attack? What would BP users do then?
