I'm overwhelmed.  Mr. Hammel's note seems honest and accurate.  My long
experience with "QA departments" in more than 1 or 2 companies is that he
is one of the fabled good test people.  The other 95% and their management
make a good case for eugenics.  Those are the ones who claim to think a
test plan would find all bugs, who never find one real bug on their own,
and who file zillions of "control-D logs out the shell" reports and require
senior management intervention before they'll close them.

It's too bad Mr. Hammel is in TX; I can't point my daytime employer's
recruiters at him.  Maybe I should look into Dell's SV for my PC.
