From memory Mr Jonker was the instigator of the original thread. In line with that, one quote for you to ponder on Philip:
"An historical analysis of the jurisprudential or philosophical justification for law (and moderators!!!)demonstrates a dependency between the choosen theory of law and the prevailing ethical political social and economic characteristics of the society in which the law is operating.
One of the earliest theories of law is Natural Law which subscribes to the view that all laws are subject to overriding immutable truths which are derived from God or a divinity (the idealist school) or from physical laws of nature (the empirical school)"

The original thread got terminated because it had turned into a flaming free-for-all with very little being discussed in the way of the original topic.

Some people dont understand the difference between doing the work and controlling it...
My philosophy is that if it takes longer to report it than it does to do it, you have too much detail.
Oh well...Micromanagers are why Im no longer an employee, except on a contract basis. My experience has been that I get more leeway as a contractor to do things the way I know they should be done. Not that Im always that brilliant.

As Im currently working with a PM who feels he needs a separate WBS for each activity, and design related activities accounted down to 12 minute increments.. Im all for a slightly looser grip on things.
Am hoping I can get him run over, before we ever get this contract signed... ;o)
