All,

 From my point of view, I don't give a whit about sex, race, creed,
 whatever, as long as the programmer can do what they say they can do
 and get the job done when they say they can get it done, within the
 constraints put forth and agreed upon beforehand.  Seem to me that's
 the bottom line.

                                              Regards,

                                                 Jim
