I'm a little frightened at the equation of expressing corporate values with managerial authority. If the organization is subject to such catastrophic change due to personal whims or poorly-planned reactions to clearly discernible macroecenomic trends, I'm not sure their issues and/or plight are worth your attention/ire.
The higher up someone resides within a corporate structure, the more valuable their "networking" (meant to invoke the non-technical use of the term) skills are likely to be. On balance, I'd MUCH PREFER the scenario in which managers participate in newsgroups to exploit the interaction potential and make good use of their time rather than the situation you depict. In this case, I suspect we're dealing with an individual not neccessarily associated with the management hierarchy who merely manages their time well enough to accomodate these online conversations. On a technical note, if more people paid attention to the free HT upgrade or sought out an acceptable alternative, helpdesks would either find themselves free to work on more interesting problems or pare themselves down to the margin that you and your compatriots scream out for. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Sunday, April 14, 2002 4:39 AM Subject: Re: CCIE Written Reading..
