And you don't see anything wrong with that??

Jerry,

I see where what I said could be taken wrong way. I'm not in the commercial world, so please allow me to clarify what I meant. I work for the US Navy, we have a thing called chain of command. Essentially that means I am responsible for everything each member of my team does - success or failure, I get the credit and the blame. I don't even have a choice.

Having said that, I can appreciate what you are saying and I think you make good points. I admit I exaggerated just a bit - what I said certainly does not apply to stealing patents, which is where GL may have crossed the line.

Between you and me...
I'm not your typical clueless/useless manager - worked my way up into this for 20 years. I am a "hands-on" manger of Naval Aviation flight simulator & training systems. My team does nothing without my direction and involvement, as I am a control freak. I was thinking GL was the same type of manger and maybe we should cut him a little slack.
