[ale] Defeated by the offshoring of America....

[Benjamin Scherrey]

John -

	Sorry to hear it, and I no its of little solice but you're better off not working for such a 
company. To wit - why protect their name? Seems to me I'd want to make it clear which companies 
are still under the belief that software development (I assume you're a programmer) is a 
commoditized resource - if only so I can know to short their stock. I'm all for cheap labor and my 
stance on allowing talented foreignors to come and compete freely is widely known - but most pure 
offshore development efforts have failed miserably because people don't know how to manage 
them correctly. Of course, a great many "onshore" ones do as well so I guess if you're planning to 
lose money then you made the right decision to lose less of it... :-) But then - you shouldn't be CEO.
