Pete's not far off from the truth, though, Steve. "The Indians do more for less, so why shouldn't the American IT worker?"

Your citings are not the norm (or at least I sure as hell hope not). We all know guys who bitch about something, for sure. And the work ethic of the Indians is notoriously good, but to label most American devs as inferior due to talent/work-ethic/etc is not right, imo. btw -- I'm dating this super hot Indian chick now. She's a lawyer though...not a developer. So I'm certainly not being racist or ignorant. ;-) _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
