I find it amusing when so called professionals feel it necessary to bite back a little against the control they may feel under, especially when it comes to such minor issues as being discussed. When someone is proud enough to admit they actually 'go out of my way to have a slurp.....', I really do wonder what depths this profession has sunk too. We, without doubt, our own worst enemies at times.
