To the person who asked if it's a good idea to say something about bad docs
when not specifically requested to...
How is this different from the "advice" and "critiquing" I got off list for
the errors ion this post? Did I solicit them? (Well, sort of, I left them in
there, didn't I?)

<Pardon me. Maybe I should refrain from suggesting that intervieweres can be
sneaky - even when you *think* it was your idea in the first place. I'm just
saying, any persopn worth their salt wants to know what his/her predecessor
was doing at the job, and what they may be up against, so they'll *probably*
ask about samples, or job description, etc. Perfect time for a test,
don'tcha think - while the interviewEE has his/her guard down?>
