TG - I don't know why so much of this dawned on me so recently, but ... it did. The lack of accountability plays right into the ease at which we would all like to step away from any 'slippery slope'. In effect, we're enabling this process by being what we perhaps SHOULD be. Irony, like gravity. Yeah, allow me to take the SA world down about 47 levels, WAY out into the deep water!
Kelly - yes, agree, many new people who become disenchanted will move on. Not a point I disagree with - the point was that they'll be immediately replaced, they're a constant factor regardless. And I guess that makes sense, that factor would be evidenced in any field, I imagine.
Lake Arrowhead - the post you reference remains posted, wasn't deleted. The point of that posting was really that everyone makes errors, and that certainly includes people doing the processing, but they just weren't the topic. I intend no offense to anyone with the analogy of 'guppy', and perhaps that sounded derogatory, I do apologize, really. It just was the 'visual' I had, of tons of new fish in a small pond. |
