"The problem... lack of experience";... I don't think that it was a bad thing for us in the past. Now that "The Crisis" has changed things, and we may be heading toward a new McCarthy era (as someone said the other day), then all of us in the IT/IS/MIS/general geek sector of the world must grow up. It's been fine for us to be off in our own little worlds of what we do best (afterall, it does take time and effort to do what we do!); but now it seems we will need to be much more politically astute (which is what I meant by "growing up"). If we can't agree on a PAC, then perhaps we can just become more active on our own./. would be of best help to encourage this.
To the A.C. who posted this great piece of prose: Come out of the Anonymity closet and take credit or give credit for this. It's worthy of saving... if there's a credit and so on!

BTW, is there a tune to go with this?
