	OK.  I'll bite the bait.


Hard as it may be to believe there are a lot of intelligent, competent,
technically-capable people who chose to limit their commitments to their
jobs.  They work their buns off from 8 - 6, then give their families and
other interests some of their energy.

	It's not unthinkable that someone could value his family so highly
that he was willing to take a support role at work in order to save some
of his energy for the people he loves.  My father did it 25 years ago,
when he realized he was spending more evenings at committee meetings than
he was spending with us.
