I'd build a monastery. In a nice quiet out-of-the-way location. Maybe on a Carribean island.

With lots of nuns in skimpy two-piece habits?

I do that regularly with Bill's post. Only rarely does someone else post something with a title that results in a false positive. Receiving such high praise from such worthy upright members as these, how can an unworthy flea express his gratitude except through a poem equally unworthy:
it is always a matter of how much confusion
the messenger has infected the message with;
how much sandy grit, and mud of river flood,
has percolated through a permeable membrane
to bleed the outlines of semiotic intention
into fuzzily fractal subtextual stalagmites
no matter we are dark matter or grey matter,
we are always blinded fish in caves' rivers,
groping the bottom's pebbles to touch truth
by sensing seismic pulsations in the stream:
we distill our music from jostles of echoes,
dreaming the harmony is not home-made hooch
see how half-lies are inevitable twitchings
rattling our cherished edifice of halftruth? Published under thr CPOPL license (CodeProject Open Poetic License)

Excellent! And your subject lines have a particularly identifiable seismic pulsation whose content has more truth than lies.

Gave a suggestion in QA and OP responded with:
when I search for "**REDACTED**" it has not related result

Perhaps he should ask in the lounge?
It's a good place to get smart answers.

I tried that and it didn't work.

Then Google the lounge and see if that gives you the solution!

I did that but he just called me on the phone and said, "Hi Sir, this is Alex Cooper from BT technical support". You know the rest.

It's your fault. And mine. All of us. How often did we tell them not to think and just do what we say? Well, there you have it.
Perhaps we should buy him a new pacemaker [^] with this cool AI chip? Don't blame me when the poor thing gets a seizure when we plug the pacemaker into his ears.

The above message was the direct result of me trying to tell him to think.

I know, but what do you expect when the poor guy has only been taught to use the brain as a doorstop all his life?

Don't say that. I know a perfectly micromanaged team of Java codemonkeys with lots of rules and conventions to pay attention to. Thinking is optional and only gets into the way of the rules. He would probably be happy there.

I worked in a similar environment some years ago. Those at the top hated it whenever we questioned anything.

And some negative feedback from the rest of the team via group dynamics. Their problem that my previous employer taught me well how that works and how to stay at the top of the pecking order. And I still wonder if those guys are some branch of Scientology.

All a matter of perspective, as always. Perhaps they see themselves as a single one billion strong family.

Nah, not enough fights
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
