thanks-i can only say i am usually forceful in putting forth my point.i have never said you are wrong.I later realised i have been sharp in my replies & sometimes may have commented personally.don't take this as a judgement on you,just my view on HR practice which may not be suitable in every industry.Im also sorry as i think some comments hv been critical which i regret it now.I know i cant say i hv been as humble as you in reply keeping in mind gender difference.Thanks for the healthy discussion & as to HR practice i can say we will make a great team-you being soft & stubborn & i being unapologetic(good cop bad cop)-jokes apart it was my pleasure to hear widely different radical views.Lets keep sharing views inspite of differences.
