Just noticed that Bob Wyman of PubSub dropped in to look at the GrabPERF data we are collecting. [here] Although Bob’s pride is evident, I do caution that being the top of a performance index is simply one measure of success. There is the whole discussion of relevancy of results, but that is beyond the [...]

This exposes the critical weakness in my plan for world domination. I am, effectively, providing a low-octane sub-set of the information that my [...]
