The good old "nobody ever got fired for [X]", hm? You may be a shrewder judge of human nature (or, at least, "human nature as evidenced by CYAing behavior of humans within suitably disfunctional organizations") than I was by my implied assertion that successes _within a certain broad area of software development_ may be more relevant than successes by "prestigiously named firm" in somewhat-unrelated fields. It would still be easier to respond to your posts if you didn't top-post, though (i.e., if you didn't put your comments BEFORE what you're commenting on -- that puts the "conversation" in a weirdly distorted order, unless one give up on quoting what you're commenting on, or invests a lot of time and energy in editing...;-).
