I once worked for EDS when I was given that title. I found that the utility in that title was that it obscured my function and rank - which is useful when I was working in some other company's shop where titles were more defined - and where titles could interfere with my authority and ability to do the job. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
