No.

No ;-)

In all seriousness now...

My career in corporate was characterized by being called in to fix
"problems" that had proven to be intractable to the application of the
currently-in-use approaches.  My work now, as an independent consultant, is
even more so.  XP, at one level, represents a new "tool" that, in a future
situation, I might find appropriate to suggest as potentially valuable /
viable.  In getting the potential customers I have in mind to the point
where they're willing to consider calling in an XP expert, I'll need to be
able to address a potentially large list of possible hurdles re: their
impression of XP / Agile practices.  I'm still researching what those
hurdles might be and how I might address them.  Sorry if my preparation
annoys you.

Best regards,
Bill
