Absolutely. And I am perfectly well aware that we have screwed this
up from time to time. But I also know that I have spent a very large
amount of time over the last few years trying to improve things. It
would be nice to know whether that has had any impact. If it hasn't,
then half of what I have spent the last two years doing has been a
waste of time.
