The point is not whether someone is IT-illiterate or not, but whether (s)he is aware of the limits of his/her IT competence or not. And whether (s)he arrogates to impose his/her "decisions" onto those people who have to do the actual work despite his/her demonstrated incompetence. > B. so you agree that among these "IT-illiterate morons (= idiots)" > are bosses, persons in chief position (managers). It is (unfortunately) indeed an empirical fact that people who are career-competent enough to usurp a "management position" in a hierarchically structured organisation are *exclusively* career competent. > When responsible for their dept's/company's strategic The usage of the word "strategy" or "strategic" etc. empirically indicates pretty well the main focus of the author of the corresponding statement - cheaptalk. > and operative effectiveness and economical result, these > "IT-illiterate morons" decide about the need of an IT-department -- > and employ an IT-manager to that department to take care of the > company's IT-system, programs and personnel included. See my other reply concerning the (all too well known and too well documented) antipattern of dedicated "IT departments". > C.

But given the level of (not only IT-related) competence that you exhibit through your statements, it doesn't seem to take much to be more competent. > Some weeks ago LibO invited people to take part to make LibO better. > Would it not be an good idea that you - instead of blaming others - > took the opportunity to practice your high quality IT-knowledge to > the benefit of LibO.
