Hey, i agree with you on *this* one Joe :))

There is a place for everything.... It seems that IT folks often have some kind of "tunnel" vision, where one technique or solution is good for all. Especially if it's new and cool.

Hee hee hee! See, we can always find SOME common ground! And to be honest, it's good to have differing viewpoints, because our own personal experiences may each fit someone reading. Yours may be more applicable to one person and mine to another, so by seeing both, they can better decide.

It's only when we start pointing fingers and getting sarcastic that everybody loses. I fell into that trap a couple of weeks ago because of my intense dislike for RPG-CGI. Even though I have what I consider to be very good reasons to not like it, I can't say that my opinion is better than the opinion of someone who does like it. I can present my differing viewpoint, but I have to then let it go <grin>.

Another example is the discussion currently going on about triggers vs. I/O modules. I hate triggers, but while I have technical reasons, some of it is also personal bias. And so I have to try hard to simply outline my position and not get into a personality clash with someone just because they disagree with me.

Even if they're completely wrong.

Ah, the letting go part can be VERY hard... <chuckle>
