>>>What's next, a DNA sample from Owen? Fluor is one of the world's pre-eminent egineering/construction firms. I would imagine the SI division within such a company is substantial.<<<
No.
Let's just try and get the facts instead of speculation.
(For example I would imagine is speculation I would imagine the SI division is substantial too. But why not try and get the facts.)
We know next to nothing about Owen.
That is a long way from trying to get a DNA sample.
I have the information you gave on Owen.
Before raising the questions about Owen I reviewed all the info I could find out about him here and on the Web.
What you have told me I already knew before I asked these questions,
In searching for that info about Owen here is what raised the question in my mind re. Owens position at Fluor.
It's from
MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS: SPECIAL REPORT
Year 2000 Supplement-September 1997
And it says this about Owen.
"The scope of Year 2000 projects, which tend to be IS-led, often
ends at the plant level, except for applications with a financial tie-in, or networking and communications," says Ken Owen, a principal
consultant for Fluor Daniel, a systems integration, software, and
engineering services company."
I have no idea what Owen's position was at Fluor.
But it strikes me as a critical point.
If Owens was an excecutive at Fluor (as I and I am sure most others
here automatically assumed) , better yet the head of the SI division there, then his quitting his job at a "pre-eminent engineering/construction firm" is in my opinion a ringing endorsement of Tpro and it's potential.
On the other hand if he was only a consultant at Fluor then his changing client's from Fluor to Tpro is neutral at best if not a negative-
since it might indicate that Fluor decided he wasn't such a hot consultant.
You think it's unreasonable that someone wants to know how long Owen was at Fluor, what his position was, and what the size of his division was?
I am amazed that anybody is offended by someone wanting to get such simple facts on such a critical point as this.
