"It's even less useful to attack those who question decisions - particularly 
if you have no additional facts."

Seems to me that when decisions of an organization like the  MATC are called 
into question, having a person familiar with that organization remind us 
that it is made up of thoughtful, hardworking and dedicated people is a good 
thing.

Some time back, Jim Owen played this role when some of us were asking 
off-topic questions about decision making at NASA.

All organizations make mistakes.  Sometimes good questions come across less 
as points of inquiry than as an indictment as to an organizations competency 
and effectiveness.   When that happens, its good to hear from people 
familiar with those organizations, even if they don't have any of the facts 
regarding a particular decision.  To my way of thinking both Weary and Jim  
should continue contributing such background at appropriate times.
