As I said, "when needed". As you correctly noted, sometimes it's
more helpful to the bottom line if it remains an unmentioned stick
while you find a carrot to wave at the customer. If a well-phrased
phone call or two and a helpfully informative e-mail can get the problem
resolved, you obviously didn't *need* to nuke. :)
