@revchadbrooks@lukedsimmons Thank you for a thoughtful response. I have this book recommended to me a dozen times, but I haven't read it. I still may, but I have observed a lot of what you describe in 1/2/3. Again, thanks.
@revruck@tsfine I think these 3 things are reasonable and expected in a connectional system and, in my exp., much less onerous in the GMC than the other. Having denom. sub-HQ (gen. agency) offices and 100s of employees in Nashville, Chicago, Atlanta, NYC, and Washington is altogether different.
