Congrats on your valuable contribution to the free market system.
Corporations tend to forget who made them what they are... their customers.
It's time to do the same thing with ineffective corporations as we SHOULD
also be doing with ineffective politicians- fire them all and make room for
some hungry new blood with new ideas, goals, and the fortitude to walk the
talk.

Stanley,
