why do I envision all the female posters here as reminding me of a combination of Ingrid Bergman and Katherine Hepburn?

OK, there is a reason to continue whiling away the hours and days and years continuing to post comments on this blog!

I can’t cut and paste the text of the CYA memo, but it sure doesn’t seem like a “normal” CYA memo to me.

My understanding of CYA memos has always been that they are meant to protect you from being blamed for whatever goes wrong.

I’ve also thought of them as typically being written and delivered to other people, not to yourself (though maybe that’s not so).

But if you were to write a CYA memo to yourself, you’d still be doing so to be able to use that personal memo later on to deflect criticism or blame.

The forged CYA memo actually concludes with the line, “I’ll backdate but won’t rate.”

Isn’t that a direct, verbal, written-down admission that he’s done something wrong?

Nothing about this is right.
