Well, I'll chip in my $.02 worth, and do it in cash as well...Hehe...;-D
But here's the thing:  That IS /the/ PROBLEM.  The folks in the boardrooms
are turning to the geeks for answers, instead of turning to common sense...

Some are more geek than others, and the geekiest may impress the *most*..
but frequently /don't even know the questions./  (In general, the answers
are /defined by the question asked/perceived/...)  Joe's thread on SSA is
just the tip of the iceberg in business-as-usual today.  (Most everybody on
this list has some fair bit-a geek in them, I know, including m'self...  But
the pure gearhead (for example, prevalent in the academic community) kind is
gonna lead decisions in the wrong direction, in most-all cases.)
