As I explained, it's pretty difficult to stand by a statement you have made when you have been retrenched.2. It's a US corporate. Strategies (and people) change rather rapidly. And strategies are fragile. Once they break in one key place they are dumped and a new one - more likely, an old one - is installed in its place.See, no magic. No gaps in logic. I simply offered an opinion with an explanation and even an acknowledgement that I could be wrong. Got it now?</blockquote>
