   OK, we could always use more.

   How many folks pass data from on application to another?  How many
   times is the choice of best language for those two applications
   not the same?

   And, oh by the way, if it is an application which is best served
   by using a DBMS, then use one.  And in the meantime, count me out.
   If it needs a DBMS then its not the kind of application I'm
   interested in working on.

   And I don't have trouble finding work.
