Re: Jeeze CRC - that was mild ...

implying otherwise. I accept your word without quibble. I did realise it was summer - was being cheeky about what you guys get up to in winter.

I am concerned that an 'innocent' thread on an obvious technology issue & evolution (XML & Web Services) was being hijacked to thrash out personal grievances against corporations (which I would argue don't belong in this thread).

What I thought this was about was what XML and Web Services - what they actually and really mean & how these are likely to affect us in the careers we are in. Dragging outside issues into the thread and implying I am a corporate appologist is a distraction from a real world issue many of us are grappling with in regard to understanding the real impact of XML and Web Services, in a real world (the one that pays salaries & keeps us from starvation).

Next wed I am to address a variety of execs in our 'Corp' on just what XML & Web Services are & what impact they are likely to have on our business. I was asked to do this because for the past 18 months I have been warning various parts of the company that a 'significant' change was going to occur in what IT means to our business & the way we are likley to build & design software in the future. I don't see anything insidious in this. I am just gald they have listened & want to hear a professional perspective. What they choose to do with the info & about the concept is up their imaginations & courage.

Anyway,

I don't want to buy into issues to do with corporations. I am happy to let nature & evolution deal with them as will happen.

Cheers

Doug

Hoped you'd be able to read all I wanted to say into it -- hoped in vain, it appears? OK, I'll try to get back to ya during the weekend. No wonder; I see I missed whole words, in my hurry -- please read an "effect" into that Joe Sixpack sentence somewhere! :-) Christian R. Conrad 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. -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=27764\|Andrew Grygus]
