(sorry for snipping...) That's a truly amazing, Todd, and you certainly are lucky to be working in such a great environment! (the following isn't a stab at you, personally, so please don't get it that way) I was "terminated" from my previous job because I was expressing my opinions on this list all too freely. And the said opinions happened to be misaligned with the "official party line" of my then-employer. Or was it because my opinions were hurting somebody else, that my employer didn't want to piss off at the time? Hmm... does my memory getting vague? Hardly so. And it's exactly when I have added the disclaimer below to my apache email account's signature. But no hard feeling, I guess, right? So let's put it straight - politics is hurting this community but in the pursuit of the 'best interest' haven't we became a bit too complacent? Is there a way around it? I am sure there is! Will we find that way? Only time will tell, I guess.
