I'm teasing sailing, I'm teasing. I'm so teasing. Don't yell at me...
FWIW, I 100% get your point. I think the fear is how do you prevent the perverbial camel getting his nose in the tent again? I guess, hard pill to swallow for many, but you let your reps do the job you elected them to do.
I once worked for an imigrant who came to the U.S. young, dropped out in the sixth grade and washed cars for money. Forty years later, and this of course was pre 2008, he was worth over half a billion or so, all from selling cars well. Now, yall hear me out, his motto basically was everything is for sale. The question is, what are you willing to pay? Now obviously the kids aren't for sale, but the dream home he just built and is about to move into, if you make an offer he'll sell it to you but its going to be the price he paid plus the price to seperate himself from it, i.e. a high price. If you're going to be successful, you carry that attitude.
Scope isn't for sale, but Sailings example is logical. There is a lot of wheeling and dealing evidently out there and if the MEC fails to have an adequate floor or makes a mistake then they won't be in the MEC anymore. As ACL said, stay informed, stuff is happening.
