I'm not asking them to know how to put together a Conestoga wagon and feed and maintain oxen. I'm asking them to know that when you see a stop sign you stop, and when you come to a right turn, you turn into the right-hand lane if it's safe and not "no right turn on red". Then again, they don't know that, either. A person who does RFC 2317 delegation should know how to communicate that. -- Joe Yao ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is not an official statement of OSIS Center policies.
