The point is this: 1. Common courtesy needs to be used by everyone. 2. One should ask before leaping and assuming.

Much like I-94 is a tollway through Illinois but a freeway through Wisconsin. Illinois chooses to stop the drivers to pay for the road usage, so does the IT dept. here has the right to patrol the usage in their domain/house/etc. I don't have a problem with that. > They are just spouting policy without good reason > and demonstrating > either extreme ignorance (shhd = server) or > duplicity. I'm sure the policies were setup accordingly due to similar situations arose in the past. They have the right, and probably for good reasons. > They can only get away with this where their > management is not technical > or their management is more interested in building > an empire then > providing service. When a person doesn't want to take responsibility for their own actions and don't want to extend common courtesy, that's just as much to blame. Everybody wants to blame someone else, instead of finding the facts, learning to follow the rules/protocols, and working together. Instead, certain persons continue to be self-centered/important and feel that they can do whatever they want. Yes, this will always be an US vs. THEM situation, and no one wants to give in. I will take responsibility of my actions and say I'm sorry that this list was used for this off-topic discussion. Have a great day. __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/
