Dear Frank and Michael:

I used to be a member of the HASUG a short while ago. I can't imagine the laughs this would have received - MARCOS vs. MACROS. There is a bigger story here. It is really the quality and diligence of the recruiters that are flooding the market. Many of which are lucky if they can 1) turn the computer on and even greater 2) their knowledge of the SAS and software sector itself.

This is why other countries look at America with a frown. Are you allowing these people to build you technical know-how?

In many ways it has gotten out of control. The first place companies look to get rid of people is IT. As time goes forward, they will be very, very sorry.

Shame on you, Mike, for making these people the butt of your jokes! Gotta go, getting behind in programming. Don't even get me started on PROCtologist comments ...

In the spirit of the posting: a VP at a firm I was working at held a meeting and declared that he wanted to make company X "the biggest suppository of health sciences data in the nation." Given my rank relative to his, I could only hope that he didn't notice what probably looked like my mini-convulsion.
