    And yes, he is being serious. This is a guy who has written numerous books on Oracle

    But nobody takes any of his Oracle books seriously, do they?

      Richard Branson is a famous billionaire tycoon who does not wear ties. He does not go to interviews either.

        I believe that Jonathan Lewis takes his books seriously (bad).

          In particular this point, should make some interesting basic instinct moments

          Dress Code for Female Consultants:

          I'm not trying to be a chauvinist here, but many of our client organizations have standards for professional appearance, and it's better to be safe than to be embarrassed.

              Indeed, and get's shown the door here at BGG Industries.

              I want to see someone wear something that highlights their willingness not to confirm. Not to "play it safe" and "fit in".
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
