You're replying to what YOU said, not what I said.

Maybe all you Euro-boys are like this?  This sounds like the twisting, 
redirecting, diversionary tactics of Beeeeeorn or Ward.

 MvV> I do not propose "we" do nothing.

Well, yes, you did.

 DC> Doing nothing fixes nothing.

 MvV> Then why propose it?

It was /sarcasm/.  I guessed you missed that.

No, they don't.  You lose nothing by firing non-existant people.  Fire 
them and then offer the job to someone.

Yup, as I said.  But he does nothing, as usual.  Perhaps he's the one 
that needs to be fired.

Sure, except for the fact that the ZC doesn't do his job.

Sure, except..... well, you know.

I am just pointing out that there are TWO problems here - a non-existant 
RC, and an (effectively) non-existant ZC.
