While I agree with most of what you say Dean, I just can't swallow this. We
had a thread on this consultant/contractor crap not long ago. Your quote
stereotypes people by an arbitrary designation. It's a matter of semantics
whether someone is a contractor or a consultant. I have worked as a
contractor and would be apalled to think I was perpetuating the need for my
position.

Thanks for the narrow minded insult.
