There is a similar (and slightly more heated) discussion on this topic on
PUBLIB. It is obviously a "hot" and sensitive topic.
Email me if you need instructions on how to subscribe to PUBLIB or for
directions on accessing their archives.
In spite of my slight "snap" at Joe, I feel that this kind of discussion is
healthy for the profession and makes sure that we are ready for challenges
when then come.
Professionally yours,
Michael
