(Yawns) Once again, the defensive fury when someone asks a question. Please, could you tell me how he was deciding the manner in which someone could spend their time? Was he going to assign all developers a task plan? Was he going to physically bar access to a computer until such time as we followed his plan? Was he going to declare himself emporer of the project and force his will by fiat? He *asked a frickin' question!!!!* This is a rhetorical device employed to make people examine the issue and *decide for themselves* whether there's merit in the question raised. How are you in a position to tell him what questions he might ask or opinions he might hold? People involved in a project like this do occasionally need to ask themselves what their goals are and whether their activities are furthering those goals. This internal examination is not a bad thing. Period. -- Mike Stone
