I'd like to know what I have done to you to force you into that corner where all you can do is respond as if your worst-case scenarios for why people hold the opinions they do _must_ be true, without any room for doubt or alternatives. If I have not done anything to you to force you into such a position, could you please get yourself out of that self-defensive corner and try to deal with people as if they aren't dangerous to you? If you choose to spend your time defending yourself, I will take no part in it. What would happen if this discussion should prove that CORBA was a bad move for you? What would happen if this discussion should prove that CORBA would have been a good choice for me? Nothing, in either case, unless we decided _not_ to act on the new knowledge. _That_ would be illoyal to your employers. Until then, acting out of fear that you might be proven wrong is what _is_ irrational. What _is_ clear to me now is that you have zero respect for other people and differing opinions regardless of how they arrived at them, but I attribute this to your need to engage in self-defense, which must be external to the discussion, so I'd just like you to be able to _listen_ to what people are telling you before you respond to them. Until you have listened, there's no point in reading what you say in response, because I don't know what you respond to. #:Erik -- Does anyone remember where I parked Air Force One? -- George W. Bush
