Thanks for the clarification and sorry about the mixup. Re-reading the thread starting at message #861754 clarifies it a bit. What I meant in my original statement that you, more than likely, take direction from those above you and have to answer to them and this influences what gets marketed and what gets more support(as in Italy). However, what I wrote sounded like I meant literally what you "say" has to be approved...
>>No, but in the one thread Ken said he has the freedom to do whatever he wants without anyone from the top telling him what to do...

>Claude, when you post something re-phrasing something I have said, can you point to the message which I said it to be more accurate? You are not re-phrasing what I said correctly here, and it is not fair to me or others. What I said was, that when I post a mesasge online here, send email, etc., it does not have to be reviewed by others first. Like right now, I'm home on vacation this week (and last), but I'm still here online and nobody is reading or reviewing my messages, before or after they are posted. But overall, of course my efforts (my goals and priorities) are approved by upper management at Microsoft. So I do not have the freedom to do what I want, but what I said was that I can do is say what I want without review. But of course what I say (and do) is all based on my approved goals and priorities.
