This is very true. There have been a number of occaisions where my thoughts have been requested on particular situations purely because I haven't had to tread so lightly. In most cases I've given my thoughts when there are clear technical decisions to be made and I believe I have enough knowledge to help out. But, occaisionally I've politely declined as it's been an internal political fight where nobody is going to win or I simply do not feel qualified to give my opinion (it's amazing the questions you get sometimes). -- Ian M.
