> Unfortunately I feel as if Olin has

While it seemed likely that Olin was a catalyst for this thread it
wasn't stated  specifically.

While I agree in general with the gist of what you are saying I don't
agree wholly with the specifics.

The Olin you describe is the one you meet on many occasions but not
the only one. Olin, or maybe the other  Olin, can be, in my
perception, "just plain helpful", generous and open with his time and
advice and generally above reasonable reproach. But, you can't count
on it.

If Olin worked for me we'd both go mad or bleed to death from wounds
mutually inflicted :-). The ideal would me to have him (or me) working
for a trusted sub contractor which had a suitable API / UI to allow
the one of us  involved to be interfaced successfully to the other.
