So do those who attempt a rational debate with him. But, they persist in doing so. Maybe it's just for the laughs at his stupidity. I hope so. John, just for the record, I am personally getting tired of reading your comments on who I or anyone else should converse or "debate" with. It's really none of your business. Eisboch |

![]() "BAR" wrote in message ... Even now at my advanced age and seniority in the company, my boss has to tell me to slow down take some time off, stop working so hard. Pass some work off to the younger guys, let them work through the problems and come to you if they need help. I can't help myself. I am a producer. Heh. Maybe, but you haven't understood the message. You're being phased out. Your boss is right. Too many people, some young, but mostly the older group tend to "protect" their value by keeping knowledge to themselves. What they don't realize is that they can be much more valuable by teaching and sharing that knowledge to a group of people, thereby multipying their value's worth and benefit many, many times.
