Nested sarcasm . . . what an interesting concept . . . .

Yes, and I am also aware I was webmaster for a company that was actually
making software to help companies test you right into those nice niches
out of high school, and I left without negligently leaving a gas can and
a lit rag in the server room . . .
I actually talked to a cabbie with an MCSE yesterday. Had yet to
connect a single network to anything outside of the simulation
environment, and he had three offers already . . .
Qualified, my tush :P
Did you really mean to say "makes the decision [maker's job] much
easier" . . .? Can see how that could be confused with "matrix". <G>

bosses) as an anonymous Xmas present.
