Ray, Well possibly that could be a good / bad thing (not knowing who Ray Lewis or Levon Kirkland are), but they would hit you a few times, then have to go and have a lie down. A Rugby Union player can keep it up all day, and with FAR less padding ;)
I agree that some specialisation is a good idea, but come on. To quote your other post "Best of the best. Kind of like hiring an Exchange admin as opposed to just a network admin." Well granted, but using your analogy, you would need 10 exchange admins, one to fire up the console, another to create a recipient, another to create a public folder, yet another to stop and start the store, and need I go on ? Since I dont follow the sport at all that may be an unfair comparison, but it seems to me that level of specialisation is just plain wrong. Having one guy who's sole job it is to kick the little ball through the posts seems rather pointless. *shrug* Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Zorz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 2:45 PM Subject: RE: The day after superbowl > Yeah well MINIMUM wage in the NFL is about $220,000/yr.
