I'm sorry if my reply offended you.  I'm pretty sure Wojtek's message was written with a smile, as was my reply.  As Robert pointed out, I really meant to say "facetious" instead of "cynical".

In spite of the very useful nature of a lot of modern software, I'm sure we all agree that the overall quality is somewhat disappointing.  Unfortunately, I don't think the phenomenon of "job security" is limited to software.  It's probably a general human phenomenon.  I suspect the economists (who have their own brand of job security) have studied this.
