Signed on behalf of Dave Crocker by Michael Hammer
Yup. Almost makes one wish that one knew the reputation of Michael Hammer,
doesn't it?
In fact, the reputation of Dave Crocker is probably irrelevant for this
situation...
And, yes, one could start with Crocker's reputation and go through some sort of
formal delegation mechanism, but that's more complicated and it ignores the
potential for independent action that this Hammer fellow retains. So no matter
what Crocker delegates, one is left needing to know something about Hammer.
