JAFM I only mentioned the ones I have personally talked with. I had seen their names in print many times related to DB. The point was that the author of this 'article' claimed that IBM said (a) and then later changed to (b). I don't believe they _ever_ claimed to have only one GM working with them. I think that was a fabrication. As was a lot of the other nonsense in that story. Sounded like more bias and less fact was the order of business.
