Yeah, I like to think that if I were a manager, in any field (including politics God preserve me) I would want to include on my staff a few people who disagree with me ... if repeat if they can present arguments for their opinions. Or maybe I just flatter myself; maybe I would fall prey to the desire for the echo chamber, like most other people.

He never did fire anyone, that I know of, but he was always looking to be challenged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
