customize code engineering?

Sorry, I've been a bit too busy to get back here and apologise to Guenter.

I overreacted to the word "policy" in his original post.  In reality what he is discussing is, let me call it,  a team ethic rather than a corporate policy.  In which case I am all for it!

Similarly, Paolo's own convention is again an ethic rather than a panacaea.

Ethics are tribal, local and generally transient. They evolve and continue to contribute to the tribe achieveing its goals in a manner deemed efficient to local observers.  In short they do add value.

Policies, especially IT policies in my observance are generally static, outdated and valueless from the outset.  (Go on, bite!)

p.s. Paolo - me too!

Off topic: Bruce, have you found a way to transport electricity over IP and now start counting the Volts?
