Would cut all the *llsh*t out and save time and money, wait a minute - that
makes too much sense. If something tells you what you want to hear all the time
what happens to the stuff you really need to hear to keep a close eye on, yes,
all the a**hol** out there who want to make/take, it all.
Thanks for all your help, be seeing you ...

I'm reminded of a quote attributed to Sam Goldwyn: "I don't want yes men
around me. I want everyone to tell the truth, even if it costs them their
jobs". When I first encountered it I thought of it as a mere joke. It was
only years later that I realized Goldwyn was telling the exact, literal truth:
That is indeed what he wants around him, people who will tell him the truth
even if they fear he'll fire them for it. Of course he'd be foolish to fire
someone just for that....
