I didn't hear you. Please direct your inquiry through John Vasko and I might get back to you if your idea isn't as dumb as the last one I got via fourth party. In all seriousness, as a VP I don't think this applies to me. The underlying tone is that the VP has heard it all and has experience that usurps the dumb inexperienced underlings. However, I have seen some very interesting and novel ideas emerge from the gang at the front line running down mass and energy details. Ignore them at your peril.

Robert, I'm sure there are all sorts of experiences out there with different types of VPs - some more approachable and receptive to ideas from newbies than others. I would imagine you to be receptive to any GOOD idea.
