"Sure, if you give me a list of all the file formats that exist."

We do not support all file formats but the ones that we support.

I'd rather guess they already have a bright /history/ in Senior 
Management...

Yes, this is a question direct from our MD, so...

We quite often asks us what features we *don't* have. There's a logic 
there - whatever feature we don't have, that's probably what we want to 
go implement next. Except... this set is extremely poorly defined!

Sounds more like the sales department is poorly "defined". Shouldn't 
they keep an eye open to what customers are asking for, and what the 
competitors are offering?

Yes, but they're not technical enough to understand that mumbo jumbo, so 
they're asking the techies, in this case, Andy and his team.

It reminds me of a dilbert Cartoon where the Pointy-Haired-Boss asked 
Wally and Dilbert what was the model number of their competitor's 
product, and they replied "the 6000."  So, of course, the PHB asked them 
to design a 7000.

In every organisation, there is someone which is aware of all the
weakness of such organisation. That one should be fired.

Congratulations, you're fired!
