My apologies to Dien, Michael Ross, Sandi and others who may have been offended.

Gordon, I'm glad to see you put your glasses back on and can see things a bit more clearly.

I hadn't planned on coming back for quite some time and had, in fact, deleted Sowpub from my resource list, but curiosity got the best of me. Glad it did.

Yes, your apology is accepted and thank you for the kind words.

What you don't know is that outsourcing has hit us very close to home several times and, literally, changed the course of several lives in my family. Perhaps I, too, was a bit emotional and, for that, I apologize to one and all.

I'll post another time about some things that may help when faced with the outsourcing dilemma and it's consequences. Lord knows I have enough experience with it.
