fernace -- you must be the change you wish to see in the world. :-)
rather than venting here, maybe you should contact briscoe and yell at him for 20 minutes or so. if he sees wisdom in what you're saying, everyone benefits. you could post here 100 times a day and, as long as no one in charge listens, it would make no difference.
meanwhile, it's the holidays. hope you have a nice time with family and friends.
