  • What kind of a system requires a 47-page solicitation—that incorporates, by my guess, at least 500 pages of text by reference—in order to buy a max of $18,000 worth of cheap furniture? It's lunacy. You cannot reform such a system. You've got to destroy it in order to save it, and to save us. - Vern Edwards, Wifcon Forum
