: this works in a tech culture where folk follow mops obsessively. my : experience is that most north americam engineers are too smart to do : that, and take shoprtcuts

and _do_ slap down any attempt to deviate

: imagine a network engineering culture where the concept of 'attempt to : deviate' just does not occur

the network group is under control

Hopefully, at least some of that was tongue-in-cheek. For managers: saved LOTS of dollars when deviating from MoPs by fixing AFU things not thought of in the MoP. For fellow netgeeks: no one woke you up because the AFU things were fixed while you slept. scott
