Well actually they could have continued to do exactly what they were doing. We had about 3 weeks of conversations about how to move forward once they invited my input.

I think it says a lot that they made a choice, the stakeholder looked at all of my charts and graphs about the circle jerks and made a decision to change things.

I know you are being a sarcastic, but it wasn't the oldest circlejerk or even the best circle jerk many of those are still happening. :)

It wasn't even the most selfish use of stake.

It was an obvious circle jerk though... acknowledged. :)
