The process has been redesigned so that there's no "weight" - at least
nothing of the sort that you're describing. Nobody's "forcing" anything:
Kat designed it, and it works. The fact that it requires only one person
where your method was a struggle for three does not indicate that Kat's
superhuman; it simply works better, and does not require that crushing
weight you're postulating.

***I'm*** pissy about it? Who spit on my offer of cooperation? Who
implied that a new staffer was stupid and incompetent? Who's been
throwing around wild accusations?

This isn't worth my time, Heather.

I've seen *no* desire to aid on your part, despite my repeated offers of
cooperation and pointing out where and how you could help.

Yeah, Heather. Anyone who doesn't kowtow to you must be insane, sure.

Have a nice life.
