at first. The majority isn't always right, but their ideas are at least worth considering. no, I don't consider the number of people and the length of time a situation exists, I just consider whether it's the right way to do things. And it's not, but your ego is so strong and your need to appear and feel right is so strong that you are incapable of backing down and realizing when you've goofed or when you don't understand something. thank you for the advice! Why? You don't want it, you won't listen. You just tell all of us we're wrong and you're right, yet you're the one without a job, you're the one willing to piss off your bosses in programming jobs.
