Re: best self-teaching materials

What may be missing is:

1) One has 10 years seniority over the other.
2) One is an employee and one is a contractor
3) One may be a supv or dept lead and the other not.
4) The conference may be specific to the purpose of the other
writter. I do help, someone else does documentation. The conf is on
online help.
5) The company is small, there is limited $$, the next turn will be
the other writter.
6) There may be a perfectly good reason that we AND the person below
don't know about...(I have no reason to think this true of this case,
but maybe the person below is on the way out and doesn't know it yet.

If you were able to answer all these questions from the post, you're
a better man than I am, Charlie Brown.
