<<Obviously people have some complaints here.  You've only
responded with a remark aimed (obviously) to intimidate.>>

Well I understand that some people regard the idea of strong management
as intimidating, and that's fine, different people work in different ways.
All I am saying is that as far as I am concerned strong management is
essential to software quality. Even in such a minor aspect as coding
standards, if you have a bunch of "I don't need no stinkin' supervisor"
hackers, you will have trouble solving even this trivial problem (of
requiring consistent surface syntax).
