My personal view and professional judgment is that the system works very well. I am very thankful for modern technology, for a BlackBerry, for the ability to reach out at practically any time of the night or day to our posts abroad, to colleagues in the field, to make sure that it does work very well. I'm not quite sure how this was done before modern telecommunications, but then perhaps expectations were a bit different as well in those days.
