another idea I've been mulling ....

As we continue to try & get our T-1 line working. (The process has been a demonstration of inefficiency by two phone companies who shall remain nameless ... or not ... AT&T/TDS).

Someone mentioned that incompetent people don't KNOW they're incompetent ... that the set of skills necessary to BE competent is the same set of skills necessary to recognize incompetence.

It explains a lot, actually.

And ... if you think about it long enough ... can be a tad bit scary.

I mean ... what IF people are following behind you and kindly re-doing all your work after you go home at night? And you're going blissfully along, thinking everything is running well by your own efforts?

go ahead ... think about it for a while ... :)
