With all due respect, that's certainly the company line.  I spend plenty 
of time w/CAT:CSD - we're not inundated in a way that required such a 
breathless, panicky, rushed situation like we ended up with.

Of course, we're deathly afraid of anything that might actually benefit 
someone outside of the project, to boot, so I guess I shouldn't be that 
surprised by the general Office/Foundation reaction.  I just chalk it up 
to another one of those bizarre deals.
