Re: World's Cheapest Consultants

I should probably keep my mouth shut, but I think that this is a statement
that requires qualification. I am a "consultant" from India, and I have had
no problems with the quality of my deliverables anywhere ( and I have the
papers to prove it :) ). The code cut and pasted below was delivered ( and
still running ) by an blue-blooded American Consultant

C           CDAT      IFNE CONTRL
C                     SETON                     42
C                     GOTO NTFND
C                     ELSE
C                     ADD  CMTOT$    TOT$    82
C                     ADD  CMTOT$    BFTOT  102
C                     END
C           NTFND     TAG

There are consultants and then there are "consultants", Origin, native
language and education has nothing to do with it.
