    Hi,

    I think subject of the post is misleading… “Highest Paid Opinion” sounds like “paid consultant’s opinion” or “an opinion that took too much money and time to be produced”. Maybe subject should be “highest paid person’s opinion wins” as in the post.

    No worries, its accompanied by the sound of nail being hit squarely on it’s head :)

    And I thought what you call HiPPO was just a very typical Italian stuff…
