Obviously you travel in that world of "got paid to write a program once"
instead of the "three plus year multi-million dollar bet the company
systems development projects."  I can tell you what world I travel in.
Remember the articles which came out in ComputerWorld and the other
trade rags after 9/11?  The ones about how the trading companies who
used distributed OpenVMS clusters lost two of their sites and most of
their people when the Twin Towers fell, but the trading system continued
executing trades until the end of business WITHOUT LOSING A SINGLE
TRANSACTION.  All other companies using all other operating systems lost
massive amounts of transactions along with their locations.  Most of
those companies did not re-open their doors.

That's my world.  Designing and developing systems which continue
running without error long after the humans are gone.

Rotflmao!

Roland, you are obviously from some other planet than I.

In the circles I frequent, it is the exact opposite.

It is the IT people who are most likely to know how to properly use
their mail client, and properly quote emails when replying.

It is Microsoft Outlook weened drones that are most likely to be lazy
asses who simply cannot be bothered to learn how to properly use their
mail client.
