My point is only that satire—when more broadly published—can come back to haunt the satirist.<BR/><BR/>I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere for the miscreant who unintentionally gave some PHB the idea for outsourcing.Dick Margulishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169512038331158003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27606211.post-1150211164429907682006-06-13T11:06:00.000-04:002006-06-13T11:06:00.000-04:00So You're the one responsible for outsourcing; m...So You're the one responsible for outsourcing; my long search is over. Are you also the one who developed this into what Tony Blair [all hail to the great leader - the bigger the hailstones the better] calls PFI? <BR/><BR/>My understanding is PFI means 'pay for it'.
