Don't Be A Tool

recently i was added to the e.mailing list for the board of directors of a major technical organization. while there are a few other tweaks on it, most are what i'd call "suits" from companies such as cisco, dell, intel, microsoft, nokia, sony, and many others i'm sure you've heard of. what i have found particularly amusing is the endless banter and posturing from the representatives. eventually one piped up and suggested everyone simply follow the plan already agreed to and to stop wasting time.

the inevitable came when a member just had to reply to agree and added in "time is money" to which another member responded "by the way, time is life, money is only a tool".

i'm so tempted to reply with "heh heh-heh heh -- he said tool", but i just don't think they'd get it. in some ways, this made today's dilbert that much more apropos.
