My argument was with the parent and grandparent posts to yours.
Your post illustrated so well, that unprepared advocacy can look a bit silly.. So in threading below your post, I was trying to agree with you and use your post as evidence.
Best regards, ...Niels

p.s. flame away :)
On the contrary, your point is perhaps exactly what I was trying to make in a different way. I agree with you in every way that "doing homework" is appropriate in this matter and in general. I would think that a guest speaker from the City might be an enlightening topic to aid in the homework process. In the case of the City, there is plenty of advocacy already internally even within various non-IT departments that have seen the success of other departments and making the requests themselves to convert. One of the stats given at the meeting I attended was that applications were being converted from UNIX/Windows to Linux at the approximate rate of one every 7 to 10 days. I don't have the slides so I hope that I have not misquoted.
