> "In fairness, neither is yours. " That's what I said. At least,that's what I meant to say. Trying again: My post is not and was not meant to be 'evidence'. It's just a (somewhat exasperated) refusal to swallow Greenspun's characterization of 'unemployment==party time' without any support. > "For the unemployed young I've known, it is "party time."" And from the outside, many knowledge jobs can appear to be "party time" too. If I had a nickle for every time I heard someone characterize my job as "just sitting at a desk" or "surfing the internet all day", I could enjoy some party-time. The point being: if someone is going to cast aspersions from the outside, they should probably bring more than some selective reporting highlights and appeals to "what we all know".
