And who, having worked for years writing the bloody things, left the company
he worked for and moved nearly as far away as it's possible to get in
Ireland and took another job. This lasted about 3 months before he threw it
up and moved back to writing billing systems for the company which he had
left. Given this precis of his judgment in the employment field, ask your
self how you can possibly believe the items marked * in the list above (the
others ? - well, even a stopped clock is right twice a day).
