Failing that, if you prefer to criticise the writing rather than the writer, might I suggest the word "ARSE" in HUGE letters on every page. Written in green - it HAS to be written in green.

Somebody I worked for once attributed the quotation "we are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams" to Willy Wonka.
The comment TOSSER would have been fully justified in that context.

Depends what the quotes are, but perhaps you could supplant it for some Keynes or Kierkegaard

oh, go with the TOSSER comment, please... and let us know how you get on.

Last time i did something like that, i got the cold shoulder for a couple of days. It's about the person, context and manner of comment.

I beg to differ. Writing 'pretentious' discreetly in the margin of the document may be a little foolhardy, but taking out the thickest red permanent marker you've got and write 'TOSSER' in six inch high letters across the centre of every page would have been infinitely worse.

I've had a bad day. Can you tell?

then again, i think if you're the ceo, you're allowed to be pretenious

maybe he/she will prize you for your nerve and you'll be promoted.

i'd leave it, sometimes "big headed people" need to be reminded to come back down to earth.

Well, there is a quotation from Descartes and a quotation from Mark Twain. In a very tedious document about economic theory.

I'm keeping the comments... and probably I will reap the whirlwind.

Are you going to let your comment stand? Still, you know, if it needs to be said then...
