		<description><![CDATA[In an earlier blog post I talked about the proposition of teaching others to take my job. (Not away from me, mind you; speaking of preparing them for the same position.) That short bit of dialogue, even with the explanation, drew questions asking for more information, more examples, and at least one person questioning my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ericthomason.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7445938&amp;post=255&amp;subd=ericthomason&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

This is a complete re-post with credit to Mr. Radford for both his insight and his willingness to share. Read them. Print them.
