There's your problem. The masses are stump stupid. Ever was it so. It is no accident that 'exceptional' means not typical. Exceptional does not include the masses. If the best we shoot for is to appease and placate the masses we're doomed. There was nothing ordinary about Robert Frost, for example. I'll take Robert Frost's worst day over YouTube's best.
We need to allow that mediocrity is just that, and set our expectations higher. Why is an absentee admin acceptable today? The concept is absurd. You are good at what you do or you are a failure. Nowhere in the literature of Unix administration is it written "This is hard - let's do it wrong". Unacceptable.
These asshat whiners need to show some pride. They're barely fit to admin Windows let alone Unix.
