Ed,
All of my comments were about contract sysprogs. While I understand
the constraints contract programmers work under, I guess that I
naively hoped that personal pride and professionalism would save
the day. But if the reality (and perception) remains, there must be
some truth in it.
However, before I get flamed, let us not broad brush the whole
contract programming community with these posts. Suffice it to say
they need to police their own ranks and clean up the perception
over time.

Bob,
Since at one time I was a contract sysprog for 6 months I can relate
to being one. I was extremely careful (I thought) not to muddy the
waters. I bent over backwards not to pull the same stuff that I had
seen done at my last company and a former company that I worked for.
Although I do admit that I did recommend another extremely senior
(former) IBM expert for the company to bring in and double check my
work. He got paid major $$ to say let him alone he knows what he is
doing.
Unfortunately, there is no policing done, as I agree there should be.
I also doubt it will never be done, either. There are various reasons
as to why as well.
Ed
