whine, whine, whine. come on people, you must have better things to do. This
list seems more concerned with self-affirming chest pounding and water
cooler gripe sessions than with providing professional support. Does anybody
else feel this way?

yours truly,

I wish I'd have known better how to fully exploit the ripple-effect caused
by SME's choosing to do things like:

"Hey, let's set up this DAU so that you can only read the resultant data
stream in hyper-terminal, no need for a sissy user-interface that interprets
the data stream graphically."

and

"Hey, why don't we set up these different-colored flashing LED's to mean
transmit, receive, logging, transferring data, and not label any of them."

and

"Okay, now that our tech-writer is finished documenting "the beta version"
let's change everything around so that the different-colored flashing LED's
mean something completely different in the next iteration."

Now I know better. Long live the SME's' incessant need to improve stuff. It
is my bread and butter.
