Just to be clear: You forgot to ^^^^^ the managerial and procurement
parts.  The folks "keeping an eye" on us are doing an incredible job
and have all my praise.  Well, most of the time, except when they
stick me behind a boatload of people on left and right down winds! :-)

As I indicated these are the _real_ workers, not the clueless
procurement fartknockers.  They are keeping you safe largely _in
spite_ of the fools in upper management.  You can also throw most of
congress into the "fool bin" on this issue.  It's a disgrace.
