On one hand, you've got a bunch > talented software developers which is by nature an egotistical breed. I challenge that assertion. It's an all too frequently passed about stereotype (and one that is very damaging to our profession). Most software developers I know are harried for time, burdened with unreasonable demands, and never given enough information to adequately perform their function. Even further, the very best developers I can recall in nearly twenty years as a professional were also the most humble people I know. I could make a much better case for the average sales/marketing person or executive being a member of some "egotistical breed" but then I'd be guilty of stereotyping too. -- Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
