I worked for a very large company. They printed lots of reports every day from their huge bank of high speed mainframe printers (by the pallet load of paper). At one point a project started to try to move to online reports instead of printing and delivering them. One lady pitched a fit when her reports didn't show up one day. So, someone went over to see what happened to all these printed reports that were needed so desparately. So the person that went over watched as she separated the various reports, carefully placed each one in a labeled binder and filed it away in the large room behind her desk. By now it was late afternoon and the person asked her what happens to them now? She said I've got them filed away now and I can go home in a half an hour. So he pursued a little more, well who comes to look at them now. She replied (with a straight face even) "Oh, nobody ever comes to look at them, I just file them away". Cause, you know, that's her job. She didn't have a job much longer and they stopped printing that truckload of reports (about 2 1/2 pallets of paper) everyday. Then the reports were just turned off and nobody ever called to complain.

Along those same lines, I was at a client for 14 months, did 3 projects and none of them got implemented. They paid $1.5 million for some specialized software, paid me for 14 months and another consultant for 7 and threw away the results. How Odd?

just to read the proposed CSS spesification

Since McCain and Obama are too busy promoting themselves for a job, they won't do anything about anything (even after the election too much OTJ training to do). On the other hand, just reading the specs and getting it right is much harder than spelling all the words right in your post.
