Horace,

In your response to Michael Andrew Uhl regarding his ability to solve
technical production problems quickly, you wrote:

No, a temp couldn't do that task. They tend to be less skilled with only a
basic familiarity with the tool. The temp would have probably taken an hour
to do the task Mike did in 5 minutes -- and probably foul up the job so bad
that it would be impossible to edit on the next pass. Pay the temp less --
per hour, perhaps, but in terms of ultimate cost in productivity to the
corporation -- way more.
