	*I* don't so any such thing, but most of the people out
	there do.  It is the condition of the industry, in general,
	and it has helped turn it into a soulless and boring thing.

	Short of politics and law, there is no industry that is as
	utterly full of crap as IT.  The signal to bullshit ratio
	is so low as to be nearly immeasurable.  I've gone into

	had been said.  If lives would be at stake, there'd be an
	awful lot of corpses laying around in the wake of these
	companies.
