No.

I now think I probably shouldn't have entered this thread. My own ideas 
about system development don't appear to agree with either the idealistic 
and inexperienced/naive views expressed by Le Chaud Lapin or necessarily 
with your hard earned cynicism. Well, cynicism doesn't quite contain the 
nuanced meaning that your real position probably entails, so forgive me 
that it doesn't characterize your full position.

I think I might have argued from a different perspective than you, or at 
least used a different set of arguments, not that I nessarily disagree
with 
your general thrust. I wouldn't, for example, have used some the anecdotes

you used - which for some reason bothered me, but in retrospect it isn't 
like any of us get paid to insure every post is rigorously logical!
