snip hard stuff

Are all IT companies con artists? Certainly not: not even a majority. But
the kind of sharp practice (or is it just normal business, Matt Crawford
style)

Ah! Now you're talking my language ;-) He's growing on me though ...

I describe does go on, and the relative naivety of much public sector IT
management perpetuates it.

There's corruption in EVERY part of life. Should we close schools,
hospitals, almost all business and the rest because of that?

We've drifted a long way from uk.d-i-y normal topics, and (having spent a
coupla hours on the roof between, and dammit in, showers, clearing out
drains and the moss which was clogging them up from higher up; and taken
the kids out to the cinema for Hitch-Hiker's Guide - pretty OK) I've a bed
to get to and work to be in not long after. So I'll draw to a close on
this topic now. I'm sorry if you feel too many of your questions and
points were ignored, but I for one have only so much time I choose to
spend in even so friendly and informative a group as this. Nor do I expect
to have convinced you; but I hope I've explained a little more why I hold
the opinions I do, and that you - and those following along - come away
with a bit of new information.

I accept that you have your own convictions. I haven't attempted to change
them. Other people's opinions are interesting but I don't expect other
people to attempt to change mine.

G'night - Stefek

Hope you slept well, I'm flitting between baking, laundry, preparing for the
weekend, gardening - the usual boring stuff done by big hairy blokes with
tattoos.

Oh! And wasn't this morning's R4 wonderful without all that nastiness!A
hint: herbaceous borders.
