-- @home.com is bogus. "I think every team of a certain size needs a professional pain in the ass, because teams get complacent, fixed in their ways. They need nudging out of their comfort zone once in a while, so they can look at problems from a different perspective. There are two kinds of pains in the ass: the obnoxious boor—to be avoided on all teams—and the person who never learned that grownups shouldn't ask "Why?" all the time. The latter is a treasure." - Dave Thomas (no, not _that_ Dave Thomas. Not _that_ one either.)Received on Tue Jul 01 2003 - 16:44:44 CDT
