Keith,
I have no problem with GWB's pronunciation of "nuclear". I know what he
means. Were he a friend of mine, I might mention it to him, though. I am
certainly not "righteously indignant" over it, and I cannot see how any
of my comments might convey that impression.
However, for our portion of "dumbness" today, how about a question from
me to you all? If I am meeting with a client for whom I have already
done online work, that's billable, right? The purpose of the meeting is
to give me technical information about his application.
