In defense of the people on the "worker bee" end of MIS (one of which my
husband was before he got sick of this very thing), the network techs know this
and hate it as much as everyone else. Many of those in the trenches DO know
better but are unable to convince management of this (see Dilbert, panel eight,
I believe, from 5/28/95's newspaper).
