There's definitely more smelly people in Florida vs. Oregon. :) -Greg

By April of 1981 I was fed up with working for the federal government as a whole and I quit. I worked for one beltway bandit for 14 months a couple of years later and that was all that I could take from that side of the fence. Then in 2002 I worked on the FAA contract as a 1099 for a couple of months and found that nothing had changed in 20 years. I have spent my life working on commercial product development in the DC area for almost my entire career.
