Hey Arnold. Good to see you're still kicking.
This was a ridiculous exercise as Doc has pointed
out. They were ignoring the Y2k requirement and
eliminating the small-vendor report is worth, maybe,
$100,000/year. Is that the best they could do?
The "investigation" cost more than the savings.
Meanwhile a billion-dollar destroyer just got
totaled in a collision with a container ship
on calm seas under a clear night. And six
trillion dollars [sic] has been flushed down
the crapper in Afghanistan.
Penny wise, pound foolish.
