Meliftman, while I personally pretty much agree with you on the name thing, [and I don't hide my -own- id], I can sure understand, and have observed in the past, that some 'management types' do not always appreciate being associated with what is said publicly (in an open forum, like this one) when they don't have direct control and veto power over what is said, before it is said. Even some of the folks (in this very thread) who are being touted as 'understanding' and 'good people', have expressed (directly, privately, and in no uncertain or ambiguous terms) a desire to control the conversation their employees have in public.
There can be and sometimes are repercussions for being open and honest, and we have to beware and be prepared to pay for those repercussions if we desire to own and be known for owning our own words.
AND owning the words does not make them any more true than the same truth (or untruth) spoken anonymously so there is only a limited advantage in the long run, to being so open, and you never know when someone else's confusion or desires may try to use your words or participation in a way that does not help you.
Speaking of,,,
HEY, I just saw the letter from MCFA announcing that G&W was going to get the rest of the MCFA channel brands, so congrates to the Sabbagh family, and their employees.
