I paraphrased one of his statements under the &quot;Split Ends&quot; heading: <i>Advertisers take a small or imagined problem and magnify them to the point of irrational paranoia.</i><p>Well said. And that is what is happening today in many forms. I&#x27;m under the impression that hiring managers (kids in their 30&#x27;s) are totally irrational about skillsets because others don&#x27;t know <i>exactly</i> what they think they should. There is paranoia about making a wrong hire to such a degree that they will most likely make the wrong hire!<p><i>What you stare at, you steer for</i> - Bob Goodnough
