Mgmt: We need to replace this system ASAP!
Me: What does it do?
Mgmt: We don't know.
Me: Who knows?
Mgmt: Maybe this girl.
Girl: I'm too busy to talk, but make sure nothing breaks.
I did end up writing a replacement system. What I found out was all the people who were 'too busy' to talk or email me back with information suddenly responded when I took down their part of the system as I worked to replace it. I've never had to do a worse project and I'm happy it's over.
