Richard,

Thank you indeed.

And, I've been thinking about the influence of social stuctures. I've just returned from a couple of days with a corporate client -- the corporate culture centers around: Guard your turf & try to get more. A long time ago, I was fortunate to have Time-Life as a client - when the corp. was run by writers and editors. Corporate culture at Time-Life in the good old days was: do what's necessary to get it right, and get it right. The differences in what was important, the level of knowledge/info sharing, the tendencies to look at new ways of doing things were greatly different -- for obvious reasons. When the abstractions of sociology are made concrete, I can dig it.

Corporate culture dominates the lives of the worker bees, and determines the substance of "shop floor" subversive movements.

Regards

Reilly
