I take this approach with people's production systems...<br /> <br /> <strong>Aphorism #271 In every Occupation if you know little stick to the safest.</strong><br /> <br /> <blockquote>If you are not respected as subtle, you will be regarded as sure. On the other hand, a man well trained can plunge in and act as he pleases. To know little and yet seek danger is nothing else than to seek ruin. In such a case take stand on the right hand, for what is done cannot be undone. Let little knowledge keep to the king's highway, and in every case, knowing or unknowing, security is shrewder than singularity.</blockquote> Thu, 30 Jun 2011 00:25:18 +0100 http://jdv.me.uk/archives/151-guid.html http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/
