You know, sometimes when I write a response that I think is dripping in sarcasm, people take it seriously. The response was to: "It makes good business sense to have happy, which means HEALTHY, employees." Half of the practices that the average programmer engages in are not healthy by definition. And yes, I do expect that meteor to hit me just because I'm me. Not worried about it but I do expect it. :) -- Michael Dinowitz On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 2:34 PM, Eric Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > > And watch out for that meteor that is about to hit your head too Michael ;-) > > I don't smoke (asthma).
