We certainly are.  Self-help meetings of techies have always been
a step-child as far as manglement are concerned.  I could list a few 
that I've been involved in over the years, that have been chipped away
bit by bit by cost-paring management until they finally lost critical 
mass.

But we have the 'net, so it's not all bad.
