Sorry, the following sentence came out all wrong due to last minute
cutnpaste: 
  Most nanog'ers, with the exception of those 
  representing small companies which don't 
  separate engineering from operations, belong 
  in the engineering category anyway.

...quite the opposite of what I ment to say. Most nanog'ers work in
engineering. The problem is a lack of ops-people turning these
xOG-groups ito xEG-groups instead.

PS! I prefer tight integration of operations and engineering. I'd say
it's good for engineering-staff to do ops-work from time to time (eat
their own dog food;). Organisations that practise job-rotation generally
have the better solutions.
