But try to be polite about his idiocy, and try not to provoke an incident that will result in your leaving until after you have another job lined up. Cheers, Ben PS I share your attitude about Joel about 70-80% of the time. But occasionally he sends a dart in the right general direction. I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother) Edited by ben_tilly Aug. 18, 2005, 04:16:38 PM EDT Expand All History

Post #220,051 by pwhysall 8/18/05 11:28:12 PM Reply	On the cheese book SWMBO got a copy for nowt from somewhere. I tried to read it, but the writer just never got around to making any kind of point, although there was an awful lot of "why I wrote this book", aka "padding". Utterly pointless. After a couple of chapters, I went back to The Long Dark Tea Time Of The Soul.
