Jason,
What about what some people call ' reef snot '? Don't know it by any other name :-)

The organization is like a tree full of monkeys, all on different limbs at different levels. Some monkeys are climbing up, some down. The monkeys on top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces. The monkeys on the bottom look up and see nothing but a&&holes. | |
