Point is, you can tell them 'how they screwed up' in the right way and 
it be a plus.  It's all in the approach.  Any manager who won't listen 
to someone who might save them some money is an idiot.  Of course, there 
are a lot of managers out there that are idiots...

Point is, I do care what platform it is.  I'll always inject an 
alternative solution which is OSS, outlining the benefits of such a 
solution.  Grant it, to keep food on the table and the cash going into 
my daughter's MIT fund, I'll dig ditches or clean cages at the vet...

So, this has evolved into a totally different thread.  I've changed the 
subject to reflect as such, but wondering if that's acceptable 
protocol???  Seriously...
