I think a really good software QA engineer is also one that finds enthusiasm and passion in indentifying questionable behavior and ferreting out the root cause. They also need to be able to think carefully through the software they are testing and look for cracks and areas of vulnerablity that go beyond the customer (those people who want to use the software for its intended purpose) to the consumer (those people who want to use the software outside its intended purpose). It's a very challenging career choice and I've loved my 12 years in it! I like the Lair - We had a Tester Mosh Pit in a prior group I worked for :) - Maura From one QA evangelist to another - huzzah.
