 Apparently my attempt at illustrating Ernie's point was missed.

 Recall Ernie was talking about slanting things by taking them 
 out of context.
 Those that read my entire post should realize that what I did,
 was to take Ernie's scribbles WAY out of context, and slant it.

 IN THAT SAME POST I also used the VERY SAME out of context
 remarks to slant them the opposite way illustrating the validity
 of what Ernie had penned.

 I'm not surprised at some that took ONLY one of the slants again
 out of context, but almost shocked that Donna did.

 Why is it that we can't even discuss the flaws in our own industry,
 and perhaps ways to correct them, without that too, becoming
 unrealisticly slanted ?
 Perhaps it *is* true that almost none of us who participate here
 are qualified to have anything to do with programming.
 A scary thought, indeed !
