The important lesson, however, is not to murder the executives in your company Now that you mention it, it is not such a bad idea. After all there's nothing expendable about an executive. Equal time should be devoted this concept, as it may save companies millions of dollars in the future. Just think of how vibrant Enron, or World Com might still be if someone executed this plan. :-)

GUI, of course. rd
