Most of the time I was on assignment, I posted to this list with my personal e-mail address and as a semi-retired systems and applications programmer, I of course do so. As a contractor I prefer not to have anything I say associated with the client. On this list, I start with the advantage/disadvantage of some of the other posters knowing me from SHARE. In being willing to answer a question, I go with looking at context such as how much work has the poster done prior to asking and what if any is their past posting record.
