>> Joe, I'm assuming you're modestly referring to yourself.  Either way, I
wonder if that committee was even in the same league as the individual was?

Nope.  Not even close.  I'm a systems architect, and I think I've got a
breadth of experience that makes me very good at that particular niche.
Running a company with 9-figure sales is a bit above my talents.  Roger
Covey ran SSA, with about as iron a fist as I've ever seen.  And while he
was CEO, the company flourished, growing about 50% a year, IIRC.  When he
turned the reins over to a team of supposed experts, they immediately
decided the AS/400 was a dead end, all future profits were in the new Unix
market, and all code was to be rewritten to use SQL.  The company went
bankrupt within a few years of that decision.
