Not in public.  But I'll bet you a beer that project scheduling meetings
all dance around productivity issues.

And I didn't say that it *is* a conspiracy.  I intimated that if you feel like
making it sound like a conspiracy, there's plenty of material.  For the

I'm shutting up, I just sent that message as silly fluff.
