I don't think anyone was questioning Jay's intelligence. He is probably a
very intelligent person or he would not have been hired. What is in question
is the intelligence of the individuals that hired the firm he works for and
the intelligence of the people that gave him the work to do without first of
having him trained on it.

Excellent points.  In my personal experience, I've had terrible dealings
with overseas firms.  On the flip side, the sharpest person I've ever worked
with was from New Delhi.
 
Getting back to the point at hand, I believe that Pick Systems had some
development work done in Russia, during the early 90's.  I remember their
work as being very good and remarkably bug-free. (Of course, I also drank a
lot during those days, so my memory may not be that good.)  Now,all of a
sudden, at the same time that Rocket Software picks up U2, we start getting
questions from rsystems in India.  Naturally, I wondered if Rocket Software
was the company that hired them.  Probably not, but I'm still curious.

Indian development firms aren't all they're cracked up to be, especially in
anything other than Microsoft technologies.  I've seen exactly this
progression in other language lists to which I belong.  Indian firm gets
contract based on price and claim to know the language.  Indian firm tries
to get free help from mailing lists, newsgroups, etc, because they don't
understand the technology.  Indian firm loses contract or is not renewed.

We've got personal experience in taking development contracts away from this
type of firm.

Doesn't matter which.  We are the next group that will be asked to work 
for reduced pay or our work will go to India.
