Hi Don,

Thanks for the link! Interesting!

Sorry for being slow, but what's the victory and for whom?

Best Regards,
Jimmy

The O/R - Vietnam analogy was clever and cute when Ted N. came up with it but you've just about beaten it into the ground.

Please stop :-)

No really, I'm fine with talk about the problems of O/R, but the Vietnam analogy is really played out.

People will think you're on a jihad or something (how many OT references can we pull in on a metaphor?).

I must admit I sour everytime I hear the ORM -> Vietnam analogy as well. :-( I hope for the day it won't be used again.

Given what Vietnam was, an American defeat in a wholly unjustifiable and pointless war, on other peoples' soil, involving the murder of many many civilians (by both sides) isn't this analogy grossly offensive as well as pointless?
