By the same token, as a professional I think you should be striving to solve the problem in the "best" way possible. "Best", of course, is subject to a lot of interpretation. I don't think you should just keep your opinion to yourself, but when you suggest alternatives, you should do it in as constructive a manner as possible. -Adam _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
