- Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Here you have a guy in
- management who is not only open to suggestions but who is even
- *anxious* to hear specific ways in which they can improve their
- product, and all you can do is say "forget it, you don't stand a
- chance". I guess it's more fun to complain about why something
- is a piece of junk than it is to offer constructive suggestions
- on how it can be made better.
