One of our India (outsourcing) projects, for instance, was getting email responses from the Indian director that all was fine up until the deadline, at which point he never wrote to us again, even when we held back his checks. So the truth finally comes out, you run an outsouring hi-tech firm, even outsouring to India.
I'm sure our out-of-work hi-tech FReepers will appreciate your future posts (/sarcasm).
