"Heartbroken" is the wrong word for it, but I'm very dissapointed about this whole thing. Thanks again for your thoughts - I couldn't agree more.

Your choice of the words, "it saddens me" expresses the fallout so well...and you are so right that it is irelevant to the rest of us that they are now going to "ready, fire, aim" train their employees in what, ethics 101?? And their "thanks for the input" and request for "feedback" in how they can do a better job speaks volumes...pathetic. Marianne Spike,
