Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Respect!
ie: You definitely have mine.
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
New Important word, that..
And in the normal relations in Bizness-2K: it appears that this is the relationship most prominently missing, at least in most of the horror tales as wend their ways into IWE-print.

You can't respect a 'superior' who doesn't know shit / and or / behaves in adolescent ways towards the unfortunates 'below'. And of course too, such a one - prolly has little self-respect for knowing (in most cases?) that s/he really has passed his level-of competence.. \ufffd l\ufffd Mr. Peter and his Principle.

I suppose that we don't hear enough of the beneficent stories, but I'd think that anyone in IT would want to share those - just to keep hope alive that, 'techno' does not *necessarily* breed only the lowest forms of human behavior!

..because that IS my impression overall, and after {migawd!} >5 years of hearing gothic tales of really shitty behaviour - of people being treated literally as commodities. Most of these have been from US of course - where anti-intellect hydrochloride appears to be a chemical in the water, so I have no useful impressions of the way it is in the more civilized (and civil) countries.

Or is 'road rage' rampant elsewhere, too? (It is certainly a symptom of a failing culture - wherever it would be found; just as is rampant drug use the last resort of those who Hate what their daily environment is like)

If I told too many of my 'big science' stories from >15 years ago, it would sound too much like gloating {sigh}. You poor bastards.. when comes the Revolt over revolting conditions? It was too late, after a one goes Postal...

New OT: Interesting, Teutonic usage.
Meerkat John goes:
Respect!
ie: You definitely have mine.
Funny, that's exactly the way that word (only spelled with a 'k' in place of the 'c' :-) is used in Germany: Exclaimed by itself like that, it means ~"Bravo!".

Wha, has the German usage snuck into Ozzie parlance? Or was it something you made up on the spur of the moment?

Of course, who am I to point fingers? I'm in the "Information Technology" business, prima facia evidence that there's bats in the bell tower.

New Don't remember where I first got it from...
...maybe Aretha Franklin :)

I think the place it'd been most heard of late was on Da Ali G show, of all places. Even the Queen Mum said it, doing an Ali G impersonation, apparently.
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
