[TR] [EXTERNAL] Re: VINs

[TERRY SMITH]

Thank you to all who replied.  I guess I'd better not bog down the List with this, just will add it's not a statistical manure pile.  You can read a descripion on Amazon, where the publisher has posted the advance copy (expect a few typos until they finish edits).  Honestly, restoring and driving the TR3 these past 15 years has been what kept me sane, thanks in no small part due to you all.

Randall actually helped me once with a transportation issue I was having for welfare clients we were putting into work activities.

When it comes to the academic arena I spent 37 years in, and many hospitals, it is all too frequently the very first, overriding, priority. Make sure everyone understands who committed, and is responsible for, the error before resolving the issue. With 11 full-time and 12 part-time years in the corporate sector it was very rare to encounter the same priority before resolving the issue. Mistakes, or procedural errors, in the corporate sector were identified, resolved and everyone just moved on. Most of the time you never knew who created them, only that it was an issue to be resolved.
