Perhaps you can take some comfort from Kipling's words of 125 years ago, when he addressed the peculiar way that society only appreciates you when they really, really need you: For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!" But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot; An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please; An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees! And Cortland Richmond replied: Kipling is the soldier's patron saint. I served 21 years: (part of a longer work): And know our living ever watch, To ask, as we would do, Is what you are, worth what we paid? Is what we paid, worth YOU? We are the currency you spend For freedom, fear, or oil; Our blood, the coin you pay, Dark on some foreign soil. copyright Cortland RIchmond Ahem! All said, msny firms seem not to understand that one designs OUT problems (EMC or otherwise) and thereby saves money. We need someone to speak at the EMC Symposium about the pychology of getting our employers to do what is right. As it is, I'm turning into a (461/DO-160-/Part15)- waving missionary.
