Riding Into the Sunset --Dickeson

So, it was high time to declare sundown for our 14-year effort. External benchmarking, we learned, is largely a trivial pursuit in our diverse industry. Internal benchmarking can be productive if coupled with XmR analysis. But Brehm, Compton, Wheeler, Arthur and I, perhaps, with a few others, seem to be lonely voices crying in the print wilderness. However, along the way, I learned what was not, gained a vision of what can and should be, and demolished some false gods. That's the path of progress, isn't it?
