"SELECTIVE HEARING"

Plenty of that going on isnt there.

No no, I agree with you Jason, there are definitely going to be people out there capable of rigging a machine for their own benefit. I just don't think it's as common as other people suggest. Selective hearing is good terminology for it.

I agree. It's uncommon. As I said earlier, the vast majority of techs are ethical enough (and smart enough) to stay away from that sort of controversy. It's a thankless enough job as it is without making enemies along the way. An otherwise excellent tech could make a very bad name for themselves doing this. But it does happen and it stinks and we shouldn't shy away from constructive criticism when it does.

To do nothing about a wrong is as bad as to do the wrong itself.

Holy ****, that was along sentence there pockets. :thmbup:

If we were to ban techs and staff from bowling in their own centre then where would it end?

Ban Chinese from competing at Olympics because it's in China?

Ban Geelong Football Club from playing at Kardinia Park because it's their own ground?

Every sport has a home ground/stadium/centre advantage. So what's new?

Ban Chinese from competing at Olympics because it's in China?

I like that a lot. Sums it up very nicely.

Ban Chinese from competing at Olympics because it's in China?

Gold.

That's worth a "Post of the year" vote...
