CB> Okay time for another informal poll.

CB> How many of us on this list have been laid of, made redundant, downsized,
CB> restructured, or otherwise terminated without cause in the last year?

CB> It's been twice for me, and hell it may be a third time before the end of
CB> the year (it REALLY sucks when your company is doing VERY well but your
CB> partner goes bankrupt thus fucking everything up)
