Post #179,030 by deSitter 10/12/04 11:45:26 PM Reply	Exactly admin: "Apparently you've never worked in the financial industry." I suppose credit card distribution and administration also would go under the heading "financial industry", am I right? -drl
Post #179,033 by admin 10/12/04 11:51:50 PM Reply	Er, duh? My point was that you don't have to be a BIG company to have a tight IT policy, which is what you intimated with your assertion that I had never worked in a big shop. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
Post #179,034 by deSitter 10/12/04 11:58:35 PM Reply	Re: Er, duh? My point was that IT policy in a large corporation is almost incidental to the culture of upward managerial mobility, which requires a covered ass at all times. Despite all the strict rules, I've seen the very same thing in the financial industry. The best boss I ever had was a former VP of Colorado Nat'l Bank (30 yrs there), who was locked in a stupid, withering political struggle against the P and his hatstand Windows minions. Tight mandated policy or no, corporate behavior often devolves to foreskin. -drl
