[SQL] Grass Root Protectionism

2009-02-07 Thread Boycott Tech Forums
I am a Sr. Software Engineer in USA who (like many others) have been unfairly 
treated with offshore software engineers who have the audacity to take our 
jobs, yet ask (mostly) American engineers to help them with their technical 
challenges via Technical Forums (like this one).

One solution is a bit of Grass Root Protectionism by boycotting technical 
forums. Perhaps if it takes an offshore engineer 2 hours to solve a problem, 
then the employer would see the real cost implication.

I encourage American engineers who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to 
develop their skills not to give it away so freely.

Spread the word...

Without foreign engineers working on pgsql it wouldn't be nearly as
far along as it is today.

I live and work in America, but I am not about to sign on to this shit.

Oh, and might I ask what you've done for pgsql, Mr. hiding behind an
anonymous email address at yahoo?
