Gene,

We gotta see....

Often a position is advertised and the "advertiser" has the objective of

hiring someone less qualified than they are. That is, minimize threats from

subordinates. It is a real philosophy......

On the other hand, a strong manager is not afraid and hires the best they

can find. It is called developing a team.

So, let's see what happens. Bill Arnold has been around the block a couple

of times. He is not a towel boy.

I would love Bill to keep us informed.... If I were applying for a job I

would not announce the position to possible competitors. He obviously did

not find it here. Once again, the strong or confident thing.

Bill Gates made a few bucks this way.... more than I ever will.
