Lay off fpg. In ordinary business parlance, people distinguish carefully between "employees" and "contractors." Employees are paid directly by the company... I never said ephud was an Intel employee. That was an ephud fabrication. *I said Intel was his employer, and I was using it in the general sense.* Ephud decided to take issue with it, mis-characterize it, and ridicule me with his strawman going so far as to say I was splitting hairs. WTF?! And now you're defending him?!?! I have no problem saying "Intel compensated ephud for services he rendered". But is it really such a poor characterization and a dishonor to say that Intel was ephud's "employer" that he must ridicule me for the imagined slight and then defend himself in a duel to the death even after I explained my rationale? Given that you've decided to jump on ephud's strawman bandwagon to "educate" me, just what is "ordinary business parlance" for what a contractor calls the entity with whom they have a contract? Their "contractee?" fpg
