I read the above and it still applies the day after I have left SMS for a contracting position. Rules can be applied humanely and appropriately, no question of that at all. Sadly I believe that they are usually not applied with much thought at all. Best regards, Andrew Hi Caronne,

Principles are essential for ethical and self-regulated modus operandi. However if Rules are used judiciously & appropriately as guidelines rather than as a "corset" (see a theme continuing for me?), they can be incorporated into this as a rough framework of reference. In other words, allowing for individual expression and innovation but within some guidelines. I’m a BIG fan of Lisa & Zern’s Cubicle Commando.
