No worries delmar.
No offense taken at all.
Nor did I desire any post from myself to be defensive or protective or any kind of knee-jerk response also.
But rather meant it to be a good summing-up of the 20/20 hindsight of what seems to be very obvious (and repetitious) traps, weaknesses, and pitfalls that projects / corps. should avoid in their behaviour ...and that anyone who doesn't pay attention ..can fall in.
Rather cautionary.
(Actually if I had a project / corp ...the 1st thing I would do is put signs above every door in the place with examples written of enterprises which failed and the reasoning. Essentially burning into everyone's head daily ...what to avoid...so it would become subconscious in everyone...kinda like the warnings in unexplored areas on maps....hic sunt dracones...not meant to avoid challenge or the unknown...but rather to be aware ...)

actually my choices were write what I did
or
try to find a video clip of homer simpson running around screaming whilst on fire and superimpose Nokia and Jolla logos on him (hehee)
(since that is the overriding image in my head every time I hear "burning platform")
Sadly I couldn't find any clips of homer running around on fire (you'd think there would be a TON of them)
so had to opt out of humour and sadly had to opt in for verbiage.
So yeah...no offense taken...no offense meant either by myself...
no harm - no foul.
