That is true.  What I was thinking of is that sometimes there is tension
between the company geek and management in that the company geek is trying
to make everything perfect and management wants it's data systems back
online so that customer support and purchasing can access them.

Having a computer sometimes brings out the perfectionist in me.  A preacher
once said to me that it seems like everything God ever made either had a
crack or a blemish in it.
