   ....sent me this, which I simply must share with you.

     Subject: Worst Generals
     "It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces,
     and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! In fact, I
     discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly
     saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform
     me until it was too late. Accordingly, I'm readily willing to yield
     my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I'll, in
     turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials - after the
     fact."
     Robert E. Lee, 1863

   There is nothing new under the sun, eh?
