Why do doctors suffer from illness due to overwork?
Why are most psychiatrists crazy?
Why do lawyers have legal problems?

The answer is not difficult. When one sees oneself as more important

goal - then you a screwed.
Here the self is corporate and personal survival rather than the goal of
the use
of the Internet to better mankind.
