$4 billion dollar deals are pretty rare.

And ones that get lost because you get there a day later are non-existant.

Okay, the $4B thing is a bad example, but anyone who doesn't think that
large deals have not been lost over small things has not spent enough time
around the petty country club that is now the american boardroom. The
people running most of our large corporations are more about power and ego
than dollars and sense - yes, I mean "sense".

I can't stand them, can't understand them, can't underestimate them, and
will likely have to go back to dealing with them to make enough dough to pay
for my aviation habit. Sure, many of them are just being pragmatic about the
way things are, but too many of them wouldn't change it if they could.
