John,

Not sure I agree with your philosophy 100% but I am with you 100% with “the favor rule being a bit self serving”.

Management has the responsibility to document…[Read more]

Before I can respond I would like you to define you definition of consolidation?
Are you talking internal consolidation efforts?
