He has now told us all... again.

I agree that Eimac <as a company> made a mistake over C&F, and continues
to make a mistake in not pulling those pages and re-thinking what needs
to be done. But a mistake is an "involuntary error" - it doesn't impugn
the company's "sense of professional ethics".

My point is that it's wrong to attribute personal blame. We don't know
who was responsible for demanding that C&F be updated on the cheap with
no significant budget, but I'll bet it wasn't the unfortunate project
manager. 

What I think is very wrong is to take this as an opportunity to publicly
attack one person within the company, in an attempt to settle an old
score.
