Everybody knows the western The Good, the Bad and the Uglyin my opinion. And its soundtrack off course.
When I was thinking of writing a blog about how to be a good BASIS guy, I saw the blog "Are You a Rock Star Blogger?" (I liked the blog and played tthe game. I advice you, too.) After that I changed the header of this blog. I like the soundrack by the way.
I also think that many people will have something to say about BASIS guys. when I commented on one of the blog, a colleague wrote about BASIS crimes as "Insufficient supplies of coffee…"" 
Lets come to the topic. What is good, bad and ugly for a BASIS consultant?
