    To give you some context - this was an email from a company that wanted to partner with us on a particular project. Needless to say - we "actively engaged in a negative propagation situation" or, to put it another way, we said no way.

                  I find, with most messages of this type, that the level of incomprehensible verbiage is in inverse proportion to the amount of thought expended to produce it. No, this is NOT a joke :laugh:
