I agree with most of that. However I think it is ridiculous to suggest
that "comments halfway down a BPO posting" are somehow less credible
than a context-less excerpt from a 6+year old pm conversation. But in
any case - this distracts from Graham's original questions which didn't
seem to have been entirely answered, so I'll stop here.
