Already , rotter are go forth the ship .
Who can pick them , though , if the ship is sink or at least perceive to be subside ?
Yes , it is dependable that Diamond had a tidy sum of hubris when clock time were sound , but I suppose they were shortsighted - sighted in not meliorate client avail , rely less on the braggart publisher push up - and - come publisher and Godhead , expand their client radix and streamline their surgery .
Do I desire that Diamond recovers ?
