Yes, that is true of the specific posting.  But the same person had
posted earlier and asked more general questions about the process.  I didn't
reply to the earlier ones, so I replied to this latest one and tried to
include info asked for in the previous emails as well, but without explicitly
stating that in my message. ;)

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
