That's the ironic part - it was a regional government agency that was the
customer of the main contractor. I got paid, no questions asked, they kept
the agency as a customer and I kept working with the main contractor. I put
it down to "gubmint". A couple of years later I asked the main contractor
what ever happened with that project. They had decided to stop development
of tabular only systems and were trying to integrate everything into one
comprehensive spatial system. Great idea except much of the data wasn't
spatial in nature. A hybrid system would have been the solution they needed
but people seldom seem to be able to grasp a solution that isn't easily
placed into categories. My contact laughed when I said it bummed me out and
said it had nothing to do with you or your work so just let it go! I just
despise waste, especially when its tax money paying for it. Last I asked
they still didn't have a solution for their needs so they were patching
stuff together with spreadsheets and such <arg>.

 Been there, done that.

 Some toes, likely someone hiding
 in the background, were probably
 stepped on.

 I have tried educating, but all
 in all, its best to keep quiet, do
 whatever, and tried to get paid.
