Ever so true. If we tell them the cold facts, "It's a syntax. You have some choices to make and if you get them wrong up front, we have a lot of rework ahead." he will wander away and befuddle others, maybe important people. One answer is, "That's great! Do I have a budget for this?" and let him worry about that. So then the question is, what would you do first? BTW: my boss tells me that I am too abstract. I tell him that people who can't handle abstractions shouldn't attempt XML. ;-) len From: Rick Jelliffe [mailto:ricko@a...] From: "Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@i...> > Anyone: your boss confidently tells you that XML is to be the > cornerstone of all future work in your company.
