you took the words out of my mouth. I work for a <blue>large</blue>
technical corporation and let me tell you... the bs - to - knowledge ratio
level is far too high.

I have sat in (several times a week) meetings where non-technical people 
make technical decisions because some moron who can spell MCSE objects to 
this or that. It's disgusting... It's not that they don't know, it's that 
they won't ask and frankly some just don't have mentality it takes to 
think about complex situations.

Why not quit to "make a difference"? because change happens from within
(and the larger the slower) and if you can't speak the language, you
can't change their minds.

PS. don't believe what you see and/or hear belive what you know.
