I would perhaps say something like, "It is my understanding that it is my responsibility to select the application language. If you disagree, we can take it up with our superiors. Do you wish to go that route? Let's each write up a 2-page paper justifying our side of the story." ________________ oop.ismad.com

From a corp perspective: He reports to a manager who reports to a VP who reports to the CTO. I report to the CTO. His task is to support whatever the hell I want him to, or to give a GOOD reason not to.

He'd have to learn something, and not just what menu to look on: actually learn it. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
