Bang on.  As I read through the "ClimateGate" stuff I kept looking for evidence to 
support what they were saying, and could only find the same deliberate 
misinterpretation of what was being said.  (With over 60 megs of files and email it 
would be a dead cinch to "prove" anything you wanted, including secret cabals to 
take over the world, contaminate the world's poutine supply, or create a new 
religion based on child porn.)  (I'm exaggerating, of course.  Everyone knows it is 
impossible to contaminate poutine.)

I looked further on the "Examiner" site, and every link seemed to increase the 
evidence that this is group of people, with no particular background or skills, 
trying to promote themselves by collecting random "information" about hot or 
controversial topics.

You may not have the bandwidth for this, but wouldn't it be a
value-add if going forward, we could push the envelope and, as a
deliverable, have a vision to think outside the box and leverage
our core competencies to create some negative growth in the use
of hackneyed business lingo?         - Mark Sutcliffe, Sun, 20060905
