You see, part of the problem with discussing this
topic is that others read what they want into the
content. That is, an author may pen "X, Y, Z," but the
reader sees "A, B, C."
Case in point, my post. What is quoted is an
observation of mine that I offered *sans* comment--yet
it is assumed I am concerned. Where in there did I
even hint that I was concerned? In fact, if you read
other parts of my post, you'll see I have
*participated* and *benefitted* from offshore
documentation.
Cheers,
Sean
