Alain : Any comments on the above suggestion?
>Alain : I recommend the philosophical book entitled

Alain : It is a book about how to form dynamic task-oriented groups
where everyone is aware of everyone else's skills, experience, etc ...
Practical but also philosophical. Recommended reading.
Anthony : I don't want to have to OCR every page and plug it into
babelfish to read a book...
Alain : I don't understand your above comment, Anthony.
>Alain : All of my MM colleagues hate programming.
>Scripting is detested too. Even HTML markup is
>disdained.
Anthony : Hmmm... they hate AppleScript? Probably not for the same
reasons I do.
Alain : FORCED to make a choice between AppleScript and C, I am sure
they would invariably pick AppleScript.

Anthony : Hmmm.... I am in an ametuer(sp?) way.
Alain : What? I'm sorry, I don't understand what you wrote above,
Anthony. Is it a typo??
Anthony : Yep. And we'll happily take the $100-hour consulting jobs :)
Mmmm... Capitalism :) (sort of like Homer and a doughnut, aren't I?)
Alain : You are aware, aren't you, that the Simpsons are a SATIRE. They
are the opposite of role-models. In my opinion, the Simpsons is the
most important satire in many years (and its hilarious too, for the
same reason).
>Alain : Free non-exclusive distribution of OC would
>be my vote now. You have all persuaded me.
Anthony : Perl Artistic?
Alain : I haven't made up my mind about the Perl Artistic yet. I am
going to re-read it again before commenting further on it.
