Yes. It's a strange concept, I know, but here it is: It's called hiring and promoting people you can trust. People you can rely upon. If every executive did all the grunt work, then: a) they'd have no time left to do the high-level strategizing and decision-making and b) they wouldn't need underlings. Doesn't your employer trust you? Would your employer be wrong to trust you? Why? This is starting to drift [OT] of the [OT]... Could we get this back to Linux and posting etiquette/utility, and even mention something that relates to SuSE? For example, I and a whole bunch of scum Windows users at my company would really love to know what SuSE-supplied (or Red Hat, cuz some of them like RH) apps we can use to replace the full functionality of: - MS Office - MS Outlook I'm already switched, and many of my co-workers are not happy about it, because of the inconsistencies, and because they can't share my calendar to see when I can be scheduled for meetings, and because my "manual" responses to their various e-mail polls must be tabulated by hand, while everybody else's responses use the Outlook voting buttons and are automatically tallied. Suggestions to correct this with SuSE-supplied apps and servers would get another company switched over to Linux. /kevin
