He actually thought it was terribly inappropriate, but his boss would not let him do a damn thing about it. She was smart enough to realize that revenue from this group of merchants was up, retention of merchants was way up, absenteeism was way down. blah-blah-blah.

I've often suspected that a great number of adult webmasters brought home report cards marked "Needs Improvement" in works and plays well with others...
I think you and I have developed excellent methods for dealing with our own vulnerabilities. I can tolerate an act of stupidity. Hell, my father used to say that if he only made five mistakes a day, he was doing well...it's what you do AFTER you make the mistake that I have trouble tolerating.....so, it's best that I scream in the garage....because why should *I* have a heart attack....or your way, which is to scream into an already disconnected phone....good one, btw....and then deal with the person and situation without sounding rude or maniacal.
