Essentially, I think with respect to the tool -flag concept, their
attitude there is "See figure 1."  This is ESPECIALLY true when they have
the opportunity to say "NIH"! (Sounds like the knights from Monty Python:

that there are some people inside AT&T who would be happy to tell you.
They tell me every month on my phone bill.
