Having been a consultant/contractor for over 26 years (I did try being an employee for about 8 yrs), I've learned to accept the sniping - it goes with the territory. It's pointless to get into a pissing match. In truth, there's incompetency on both sides of the fence, as well as some very good people. But, I do take exception to that comment about the difference between a consultant and contractor. A contractor would simply pocket the watch after telling the customer the time. We're a lot more subtle than consultants. <grin> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
