I would expect Jeff to not get it. Many people have emotional attachments to things like pets or cars or tools. When a tool is empowering its user, its user gets a rush and some of that good feeling transfers to the tool. This is all freshman Psych 101 stuff. Not so when evil IT managers get their rush by unempowering staff and making staff do silly things "because I said so." (I encountered one of those this week.) Then the emotions start to run in the direction of frustration and loathing. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
