I don't know where you get the energy for your rants, but they're wonderful and right on, that is to say, I agree with about 99% of them. Something you said a few weeks ago -- about the client being trained to accept lowest common denominator in order to usher in the dismal mess of SR -- I think is relevant to a lot of what happens in MT: because the bean-counters and computer nerds have been happily anticipating our disappearance for the past 10 years, no one in positions of power pays much attention to what we think or do. "Well once we get this new system X [new program, SR, whatever]", they say if, only amng themselves, "we can do away with THEM and their expense, no worries."

But, question: why stick with a company that burdens you with such a horrible platform?

Sounds like a platform much like the one I use...I just barely doggy paddle! Thank you for the insightful article. :)
