That's far different than any attitude you have ever displayed on the list. Until now, IT managers have been to the right of Clouseau and to the left of Cheney. It's good that you finally agree with what I've said all along. Proper IT management is a collaborative and evolutionary process that can shepherd the business process along well, so long you weed out the Mordacs and it's not held hostage to the foot-stomping tantrums of petulant users, the ham-handedness of imperious CEOs or bean-counting PHBs. Or, most of all, know-it-all IT consultants. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
