I agree with you here sunny, altho there is something to be said for
meeting and opening up communications with people that work at large
firms.  they do bring something different to the table.  i've also got
to say that i've seen my fair share of boneheaded SMB admins/programmers
in my day as well.  so as the saying goes...size doesn't always matter

that's actually an interesting point, altho i wounder if it's true or
not?  i can think of a couple posters on talk@ that are definatly not
from what i'd consider SMB's.
