Well ***somebody*** ought to tell the dork how to do his job, since he 
clearly isn't doing it.  The job of a system administrator should be to 
help users to accomplish the tasks that they need to do, not to hinder, 
impede and stone-wall them.

The tell-tale word here is "administrator" --- those of that breed seem 
to get their kicks from frustrating those who do the actual work.
