    Not acceptable

    Especially an alleged security company should know that information management is key. They should at a minimum have a holding statement that gives users an idea of what is going on and what is being done in more detail than "we're busy fixing it".

    The value of a company proves itself in times when things do NOT go well for them - so far, I'm not impressed.

    TITSUP = Total Inability To Support Usual Performance.

    OK uppies for Gareth for making the phrase an acceptable inclusion in written work reports.
