Regarding Negativism and Persoanal Attack

[sandy_perle@email.fpl.com]

     Let me first say that I appreciate Paul Vitalis's comments. It's OK to 
     disagree with one's comments, but if you don't agree, attack the 
     ideas, not the messenger. I wasn't going to respond at all, but .....
     
     With respect to Mr. Ogden, I have two statements to make:
     
     " As a general rule the most successful man in life is the man who has 
     the best information."
     
     - Benjamin Disraeli -
     
     
     " A trust in science does not imply the abandonment of hunch and 
     intuition. On the contrary, the history of science itself is studded 
     with cases of important discoveries made through chance, hunch, 
     serendipity, even dreams .... Most executives who use their hunches 
     well also seem to possess a high level of knowledge and understanding 
     about their activities. So the question is not when to apply science 
     and when to rely on intuition, but rather how to combine the two 
     effectively."

     If one doesn't like something posted here, or doesn't like the person 
     making the comment, then by all means let them know, but do it 
     privately. THAT is the professional way to handle dissent.
