Excellent use of the passive voice ;-)

How and why had it "become disadvantaged"?  I just had a
long chat with a high-performance TurboIMAGE user who
mentioned the verb "squander" as a description of the
activity (or, rather, passivity) involved in the process
of "causing something to become disadvantaged".

Excellent timing, indeed.
