The cost of having someone in India monitor this forum and tidal-wave downvotes into it is about 20% of what it costs to have a North American HR person do it.
Plus, a lot of the North American HR people just got layed off, so that work had to go somewhere else.
So I think all the down-voting of anything not IBM-positive here is coming from our colleagues in India now, working from their 3-ring binders to tell them what to downvote.
