Cactus, do you mean to say that you were expecting things to change in the blink of an eye? Surely you're not that ignorant. This is something that'll be another couple of years before the change is really noticed. The trick, in the meantime, is to keep it from going off the rails until things actually do start to improve.
Problem is more and more bubble heads day by day are put in charge of key front line decisions, they arent worth wiping the dog**** off your shoes on in reality, makes it very frustrating.
