Patrick,
I knew I'd receive at least one response along the lines of what you've written. It seems you feel the post wasn't helpful, simply because you personally didn't like what it said.
I was trying to help prepare the original poster from a possible hammering. I've been in meetings like the one he described.
I don't have an 'agenda'. It's no skin off my back if Gerald walks in prepared and informed, or goes in and gets served up. I've been in his general situation, and was trying to help by offering a viewpoint based on current and projected events.
Hijack (i.e. rob, steal, seize, force, coerce) does not characterize what I've done - go read a dictionary.
