    Scholarship, for the most part. It's well established by researchers that an optimistic approach to athletics is essential to good performance (University of Minnesota, University of Vermont, UCSD). It is also very well established in the medical community that patient optimism consistently speeds recovery and reduces reinjury rates following release from care.

    And yes, I am optimistic by nature. So I don't have much problem transferring this to the programming scene. I lived through the .com disaster and have seen what depression and despair do to performance in computer-related areas.

    Believe me, Bob is not on my list of favourite persons. But I have to hope that the organisation can override him in some way.
