You gave me an idea. Two questions and my response to them, tell me if it is "negative talk".

1. Is there something wrong with the property / project / data?

2. Is there something wrong with management?

Is the answer to both "no"? We ought to be free to discuss what might be, In either case.

Personally, I DON'T KNOW, and I tend to probe with my own notions of logic and common sense.

One function of this board is to maintain the engagement of reasonable people with a vested interest - unlike for the most part, that other board.

I find most folks here to be reasonable, and try not to react too negatively to 'style'.
