   I don't believe that I could do it at the present moment.
   I don't have enough political / business / commercial information  
to correctly weight issues and draw decisions. But I'm just started  
on my new job, I will grow up out of this behavior...

   Thanks for the nice reference. That'll integrate the readings  
recommendation I'm keeping to my new manager (that just started this  
week, and will have a hard time ahead - I will help him as I can so  
he can integrate and feel good).

   I guess mine is the second case. Good consideration also,  
remembered me some nice talks I attended when taking my post- 
graduation specialization on management...
