HighCirrus,
I most certainly have no illusions about SIA. I just don't know precisely what 'the deal is'. Hence the search for info.
Your input is valued as it supports the opinions found in 99% of the replies. If you have any other information I would very much appreciate it. I have had a very good job the past 6 to 7 years, still do, but even that has changed and that has prompted me to look around.
Brgds,
Ramrise
