So what you are saying is because we made bad decisions in the past, then that is a good reason to make bad decisions in the future?

Granted I would have felt better about overpaying a little bit in order to keep cohesion if we didn't have a history of doing so with guys like Lloyd, Brunell, Arch, etc. but because of bad moves like those, the effects became cumulative.

Management had to change thier philosophy at some point because the old way clearly was not working, unfortunately Dockery was the first one in line...now that they've made the first step, I just hope the common sense trend continues and it doesn't become a sacrifice made in vain.
