[Superman]

Talking to your manager was an excellent choice. A gamble of course, but communication is the key. The most massive problems are the ones caused by miscommunication or lack of communication. Your manager probably appreciated the communication and of course, would now appreciate you placing this where it belongs.....on the farthest back burner. Another observation I'd make is that these yayhoos depend on poor communication to conduct their evil, and therefore open and candid (calm, professional) communication is the kryptonite, so to speak.

Then again, being on your Ignore List, I wonder why I wasted my time just now.
