Well, there are wackos and then there are waccos. Take yer pick. :-)

"A lot of work" is right, Zeno. It's part of the reason Waccobb is closing down.

I agree with you, up to a point.

Freedom of speach is central. But a manager can require rules about, not the what-about, but the how. It should be responsive and interesting and intelligent.
