Do people really almost get fired for what they write here?  I'd think 
there would be more constructive things to do by management than read 
nanog for questionable posts.  If I were managing someone and they 
posted their feeling on a subject and clearly said it was their own who 
am I to have a problem with that.  It might be in my best interest and 
listen to them then silence them.
