However p*ssed off you were with them, and they needed me more than I needed them in those days, they always managed to make you think they had/would deal with all the problems, but never did anything. One of my colleagues, who is world famous now, wouldn't talk to one of them about anything since he -knew- he would be persuaded to do what the boss wanted against his better judgement. This is a big rare "talent" Frank On 28 Jan, 2010, at 18:33, Mark Pope wrote: > Brian, > > a fascinating insight - > > <quote> > And the famous RDF -- the Reality Distortion Field -- is absolutely real. > When you are around him, in his presence, you will believe whatever he > wants you to believe.
