Pal I dunno how your system is run??? BUT on my system (and many others I 
frequent), the system adminitrator is extremely fair and I don't believe
you can simply stereotype the "Unix-system-administrator" as a group of 
self-centered individuals, after all where do you suppose Usenet came
from anyways? 

Sorry guy this one just doesn't hold water...
