Yeah, Keefie, then let Pearce come do exactly that. Be the first useful
thing I've seen Pearce do since I ran into him more than a year ago. He
(and you) will be amazed at the respect he suddenly earns by becoming
electronically useful. That's the problem with the conditional tense
(1) though: hardly ever happens.

(1) "could" -- a most revealling Freudian slip, eh Keefie? It is the
built-in escape clause for your promise to deliver what you know you
can't deliver.
