Sure, "selling corrupts, and selling on a commission corrupts
absolutely." And don't worry, I have myself long marvelled how
it is that so many of our ilk have managed to soak the EU
taxpayer and produce so little but press releases full of fine
words. (And you yourself do live south of the Green Line,
presumably...) And each of us knows a rough country. (03)
But that is not how I choose to compete, my own experience in
large organizations has taught me that in the end competence can
prevail over that kind of politics, I don't want to know
anything of the villains of your piece (or of any other), and I
expect I shall continue to support Peter in drawing the line
where he does. (04)
Thanks for your advice, though... (05)
Now, back to Ontology in practice! (06)
