Wow, there certainly has been a lot of discussion regarding my
interview with Computing Canada.  From my perspective, anytime a
healthy discussion concerning our profession and our contribution can
gain front page news, then I think our industry and the practitioners
in it benefit.  There are always multiple sides to any issue, and the
media generally reports a perspective that sells papers.  I intend to
try and use this apparent controversy to raise awareness of the need
for higher standards of practice in our industry and no this doesn't
just apply to in-house IT workers.

I am just back from vacation and you can rest assured that I am
preparing a response to feedback on the internet and in other media
publications.

Finally, I take no offence with your responses.  It is great to see
individuals come to the defence of our industry and our practice when
they feel it has been threatened.  Certainly, I will attempt to
re-assure you that I wasn't seeking to denigrate our practice  or
our profession, nor was I merely trying to seek more CIPS members.  On
the other hand, I certainly will stand behind my call for higher
standards of practice across our industry.
