Ha ha you're funny.
The reason I bumped the thread - apart from the fact it was an interesting thread, period - was that this accusation ('elitist') has recently been levelled at my own organization. While the allegation (with all that negativity it implies) is baseless, unfounded and malicious it is still something we have to consider/deal with. The thread interested me and I would be interested to hear more views on the subject, too. If that is a problem for you it is unfortunate but I still find it an interesting thread!
