All,
This is indeed very interesting. I found it quite accurate and to reflect
many of the feelings that I have had for many years, most especially
in the private business sector which as recent history has shown
many in positions of responsibility that are self appointed or selected
by some arcane method, are usually more policy oriented and therefore
completely incompetent in the positions they may hold in the technology
sector of the global economy. Brian Hollingsworth compiled a list
of some of this individuals which I forwarded to these relevant lists
last week. Bret, you were among those on that list, and rightly so
given your past activities and comments over the past few months
and they certainly apply here to your URL that you reference.
