I have no problem with Sam getting his time and bandwidth underwritten and 

his enterprise rewarded. He told me only recently that he spent at least an 

hour a day on the list. Steve's 'stakeholder' comment hits the spot though. 

Where Sam spends at least an hour, I spend at least 15 mins 

reading/responding/being-sent-off-on-intellectual-tangents. Yep I am a 

stakeholder alright. 


Sam are you tinkering with the bottom-line, in which case you'll hear no 

more from me on the subject, or are there bigger plans afoot. We should be 

told.
