>Don't assume I haven't read it. And don't presume to diagnose my motivations, which aren't what you describe at all. I don't like work to be fair to my employer, but because I mainly like what I do, and I enjoy solving challenging problems in an elegant and craftsmanlike way. It's an utterly Marxian motivational set.
To be fair, these were the motivations that *you* suggested were the important ones, *I* have always assumed that people would do their work because simply because they like what they choose freely to do and because they enjoy the challenge.
It seems your motivations and incentives are different than the ones to ascribe to everyone else? I'm tempted to rest my case. ;-)
