>> M170, first of all...aren't you curious about what in the world COULD keep a TD occupied with urgently needed work day to day?<<

I suspect that there are a lot of things that COULD keep a technical director busy. Without a position description it's pretty hard to know though. Right?

>> You are right about what qualifies people to answer the poll, I'm not qualified. All I can do is choose the answer that best suits my suspiscions. <<

So, you started the poll and voted for one of your choices without being qualified to do so? Suspicions based on just what? Unfounded supositions and SWAGS? Given the comments about this guy here over the past few days, yours included, the timing of this "poll" is rather interesting. It seems rather clear that you mind is made up, without any factual information on which to base the decision, other than the obvious (this is not a quote) 'I don't like what this guy said so I don't think his job is necessary.'

Given the primary thoughts in this guy's column there is more than just a bit of irony here.

>>I was hoping that some of the poll takers would be able to leave qualified reasons for why or why not, in reference to the need for a TD full time. <<

How could anyone reading this message board be qualified to answer the question or provide "qualified" reasons unless they are intimately involved with the day to day operations of AMA, and have specific knowledge of his position description and the reason he was hired?

Does anyone even know if this is a full time paid position? If so how much? Without specific answers to the questions I've posted here this poll degrades to nothing more than an on-line kangaroo court.

Is this not just a perfect example of the types of postings he was addressing in his column?

Oh, the irony!
