No, I can't say that I feel that way at all. From
what I've read of this thread, I thought it contained
some useful information for people to consider when
they were starting a new job. I also thought it useful
for those of us who bring new people in as a reminder
of those things that would help get them up to speed
more quickly.
I would say that this thread can SAVE a lot of whining
down the road, if it is properly applied.
(Besides, who you going to whine to if not your
friends? <g>)
