All this tape on frames makes me think the sunk cost fallacy is going to rear its head in January. All the groundwork was done for rollout this Autumn, it's just that no-one (definitely no-one) could have forseen the trial/pilot would fall to bits when it was introduced in offices that couldn't fit in a shed.
Perhaps after the apocalypse this December mail volumes will fall down to 1910s levels and the ODM will then work!
