Re: If Birch has gone....

I am reminded of the "Seven Stages of a Project", which we seem to have gone around a few times in the last couple of years,

Phase 1: Uncritical acceptance.

Phase 2: Wild enthusiasm.

Phase 3: Dejected disillusionment.

Phase 4: Total confusion.

Phase 5: Search for the guilty.

Phase 6: Punishment of the innocent.

Phase 7: Promotion of non-participants...
