It IS what I would do. I've done it. And 2x I was told, in essence, the
company liked it this way and they didn't want to change (I left because my
abilities were not needed). A few times, I've been charged with fixing it.
It just varies.
But it IS the only way to function in this environment.

[snip]
During my time on this list, I've seen discussions
such as: should we capitalize acronyms or do you use
appear or display. These topics have come up several
times and I see people are happy to chime in what
works at their company. I was looking for some of the
same support.
Was I looking for a pity party? Absolutely not. I wanted a professional
dialogue regarding how you deal with valid changes that are disregarded.
For me, the topic has turned into something different from that and I will
not be posting or reading any more responses from this thread. I thank all
of you for your comments.
