That all sounds fair enough. Especially basing opinions on substance. What about when the facts (as the sysadmin in question has seen/experienced them) tend to bias one towards a particular side? I'm just concerned that sometimes people too easily throw their own values out the window (when they have any at all) in favor of whatever most serves their immediate interests knowing it won't be their problem for long. On more than one occasion I've heard someone say "I'm in favor of whatever gets the job done the best" because they know the boss really wants $product yet I had heard them railing against how inappropriate that solution is in different company previously. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
