I would think that the ultimate objective of this program is to coach the participants into being able to manage oneself. And, much of Shakthi's "spoon feeding" is subtly aimed at showing that it is possible to have a high level end objective while doing the nitty gritty stuff oneself. There have been times when I have wished that the participants did realize the importance of what you write and bring themselves up to speed. However, I also do realize that it will happen when it has to happen. Possibly with this batch, perhaps with a newer batch. But it will happen. You just cannot keep yourself isolated and, not benchmark yourself against the best in class and, hope to survive. Thanks for the write up. I can only say - have hope and patience. All good things come to those who wait. /sankarshan -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog/> _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dgplug.org/listinfo.cgi/users-dgplug.org
