I would reiterate the fact that I originally posted my comments, not because I felt personally affronted but for the benefit of my younger colleagues irrespective of their particular job or administrative title.
Again no offense but would you agree that one doesn't have to be personally affronted in order to try and correct undesired behaviour of others for the benefit of all?
Even better I would think. If one is not personally affronted chances are one is all the more objective and so the ones 'on the sideline' may have a greater responsibility than others.
