It is this incredulous research and "quantitative" analysis that leads to the unconventional conclusion or is it the otherway around; that the unconventional conclusions lead to meticulous quantitative research ;-). This may explain why she is only ever invited to speak in India. The more she write the more more she sounds like a woman spurned. <br /><br />By the way you should tell her that she needs to update her knowledge on PA recruitment patterns. Her sources are from books in the 1960's, lol. <br />raw13noreply@blogger.com
