Peter,
Agreed, but tell me why the trained people who by your deffinition are in
many cases incopetent having to train the experienced who are competent?
Regards IDP
Ian,
Don't confuse training with competence, they are very different.
The trouble is that people who have been trained, then think they are
competent. And in most cases they arent .
Cheers
Peter
