Guys...I gotta get this off my chest.

I was really hoping that this topic, based on Lisa's VERY excellent
overview, would become a point of discussion on the list for a few days.
I don't think others know what an impact this could make to our field
and what a impact we can make to the process...but then I guess it's not
as fun as bitching how it's THEIR fault I can't find a job.

OTOH, it does require learning something that isn't tool related.

Ya wanna surprise the crap out of some people? Understand the
regulation, then go to your CFO and ask him if s/he needs help with
documenting SOX issues.
