In one day we pass straight from the "missing the un-missable deadline" phase straight to the "designating the scapegoats" phase. Will be back with some details after I update the resume.

That sucks. I know what it's like
If you have emails that document your position over the course of the project, burn them onto a cd and get them off site soonest. If you have ammo, others will look like better targets. Doesn't always work, but sometimes does.
Good luck and don't show fear.

Hmm, okay then
Well, I've always believed you should never commit to email anything you wouldn't want to become public, so I'm not too concerned.
[edit] I just ego-surfed. Without the subject line, that doesn't show up on the first three pages, so I think I'm good. In fact since Google placement is influence more by inbound links than anything else, your post probably boosted the pagerank quite a bit.

I'm surprised that it took this long to fall apart though.

No, sort of, and sort of
Postgres copies as much of Oracle syntax as they can, and Linux is mostly Unix, but I'm not looking to be a developer any more. But I'll go read the other post anyway.
