Hey, don't be like that! I used to be the
king of Policies and Procedures! How many would you like?
On the other hand, a wise old dude once cautioned that "mediocrity finds safety in standardization".
I also picked this one up from somewhere along the way (and some years ago):- "The purpose of a method is to tell you what to do when you don't know what you're doing. Any method that relies too heavily on previous experience isn't telling you much"!
Take it or leave it, as you choose. But this stuff is the "wisdom of the ages"!
Personal development? Phooey! Just live an interesting (and varied) life!
People like me (you know, mere engineering technicians) never get bored. There's
always something "challenging" going on. It's an attitude, a state of mind.
This is an internet forum. Not a meeting place for narrow minded academics or so-called
professionals. No one pays a subscription fee, as far as I am aware. Within the normal rules
netiquette (as sometimes postulated by our good Mr.Huw), all are free to toss in their ha'penny's worth. Even the dull and the ignorant (yes, like me). It's a very democratic process, and that's one of the main reasons that I support it.
Meanwhile, baiting is for bears (or badgers) ... not donkeys!
