Hah, I don't have a lot of experience of RFPs, but I do recall having a micromanaging boss that made me send out a million of them with the most ridiculous questions to try to get a copy machine.
I felt sorry for the other businesses. They eventually never returned our phone calls.
Anyway, nice post. I agree with the "hey were invented by process-loving bureaucrats, whose sole mission in life is to procrastinate, justify their jobs and cover their asses." :)
