    I guess if I m hiring an assassin I more concerned with the end result and a lack of breadcrumbs back to thyself; so meticulous appeals more to me! If the result is utter revenge I see imaginative as an ideal quality! I guess 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

      Does an imaginative assassin specialise in surprise endings?

                        Good candidates as well. Symantec and InstallShield deserve extra attention for taking once great product lines and making them suck so hard they have an event horizon.

                                          I think it would be more a case of Arsenic and Old Lace. :)

                                          If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill
