<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
13.5pt'>When I worked as a consultant, some of my advice was sought and taken
on potential management, technical, and executive hires. During the
screening process it sometime happened that an applicant exhibited a red
nose and cheeks -- broken and/or barely subdermal capillaries. There can
be many causes of this. However, when you are hiring a high salaried
person from whom diligence and production is needed and expected, there are two
conditions that can cause this condition for which more information is needed
in the evaluation of the candidate: excessively elevated or
prolonged high blood pressure or a alcohol abuse problem.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

information to assist in determining the risk/reward of hiring the
applicant. It would be foolish to hire a person with a long standing
drinking problem unless there was evidence that this condition did not affect
his past work performance and would not affect his future work
performance. Similarly, a person with a history of high blood pressure is
probably not going to be a good candidate for a high stress level position --
either from their or the company's perspective.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

He often incompletely (with malice) and sometimes out of context (with malice)
quotes/mischaracterizes those whom he attacks in his web-blots. His
