<DIV>> I have always avoided commenting on other technicians =

<DIV>> I may have a strong opinion about it.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>There are politically correct ways of handling =
these
situations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Example:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>No: "Jack Flange's does really bad =
work, you
shouldn't use him". He over charges and doesn't know what he's
doing".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Yes: "I generally find it

Although he is
a nice guy and I have nothing personally against him </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT =
size=2> it is
in </FONT><FONT size=2>my opinion that he requires =

skills and be more willing to recommend him."</FONT></DIV>
