Brent, I'm surprised you missed the point... um, ok lets use your
analogy. Police Car = State IT and Taking a Spin = Cracking the System
In either case, yes I would have some curiosity about the use of my tax
dollars. In the police case I guess I'd ask some mechanics if they think
the city does good maintenance. In the latter case, I'd ask a bunch of
smart IT folks who I consider reasonably likely to know the answer. (ie
PLUG)
Sure, if I ask the mechanics about maintenance they might take it upon
themselves to go steal police cars. Frankly I expect more from the
people on this list.
Conversely, the people on the list expect me to not waste bandwidth. As
such I'm about done with this topic, though obviously others are free to
post more.
