    Alright, I’m telling you that I drank the kool-aid. Not long ago we had our golf outing with QBE Regional, and I talked a lot with these people during the day. our agency is up 30% with them in 2008, but have you seen what they have coming? North Pointe is just a piece of it in their special programs division. But all of the other stuff is going to be very nice. And I like my local people, that’s the best part. I don’t even see the people from our national carriers, and those I see aren’t usually there for long.

    Everyone bolts from Travelers.They don’t have a good plan into play and are operating on knee jerk reactions.

    Read the entire story at Bloomberg, and you will see Traveler’s Hartford, QBE, and Markel all listed as potential buyers in the next few months. I wonder who Traveler’s is looking at?

    What if Travlers bought Hanover? Didn’t most of their current employees bolt from Travelers?
