Could we stop with the asinine generalizations please. I can not even
begin to count the times we have had to hand fix the fuckups from the
sysadmins in almost every organization I have been involved. It is just
tiresome having to deal with undereducated drop outs that are unable to
fix things right the first time, and that *gasp* our holy Ph.D. have to
get our hands dirty and first hardware and configuration issues on top of
trying to carry research work. That was the reason I joined this list to
begin with.

Of course I must not make such statemens, as I am sure there are good
profesionals with low educational degrees. And I hope the same courtesy is
extended to us "fools" who had the silly notion of furthering our
educational horizons, and make our little contribution to the state of the
art in the computer field.

And stop with the freaking world this and world that, man it seems you
have some sort of monopoly on reality, I advice to tread with care as you
could slip and fall off your ego, which seems to be at a much over
inflated height.

Thanks.
