I find it interesting that, thus far in this limited discussion, the view
seems to be that internal people are less productive than contractors.
Being somewhat new to the business myself, I wonder if you good people

Personally, I don't feel too weighed down with "red tape" and such, but I
work for a small company with a fast pace.
