Reread please. I did not say I liked the situation
nor did I agree with it, only that the perception
is there. In other words... perceptions can be
miscued as was in this case. I only told you what
my HR instructors have told me.
> Perhaps; however, the line suggested is draconian.

Sorry I did not say this. If you are going to single someone
out at least single out the correct person. I refuse
to stoop to that level. I go after ideas not people.
Unprofessional of you wasn't it? I know how to cite.
I do not believe in keeping the originator's name
in mail. It backfires on the quoter and begins flame wars.
Disagree with my ideas if you like. No problem, I can support my
position with facts or I do not post. I was challenged
on my font ideas and I supported with numerous published
cites.
Give me the facts ma'am.
