I wasn't intending to troll the middlemen. I think it's fairly accurate to say they are the least productive members, they didn't produce the work we're discussing at all. Of course they produce value, and do so in various ways. Butin this case they produced very little value to Topato, and certainly less than is customary. This is constructive criticism.
