<blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid blue; padding-left: 3px;"><pre><tt>This reminds me of the company IT 'hero'. The firefighter who runs<br>
around from emergency to emergency, shouting a lot, working through<br>
the night, and accepting all the rewards and applause.<br>
<br>
While Dilbert in his cubicle, does his backups, applies his patches,<br>
runs through his checklists, etc. and never has an emergency. And<br>
everybody wonders what his job is, as he never appears to be doing<br>
anything.<br>
<br>
Who's the real hero?<br>

<div> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">LOL, Thanks Bill. You brought back so many memories. I have been in both situations as many of us have.<br>
Personally I think that Dilbert is the far greater unsung hero, and without doubt the more mature.<br>
