i would rather earn it by designing things, not by cleaning up messes made by kiddies needing to show off.
For those who try their best, given your comment, what in the fsck is one to do?
[ i prefer to speak in the first person, not tell you what you should do. ] i try to use as few tricks, knobs, and clever things as possible and still get my job done. i try to be extremely conscious of, and minimal, when what i am doing effects or is visible to my neighbors and/or the global net. i try to complicate the internals of my network as little as possible, after all, complexity == opex and i value my time, it is a non-renewable resource. i prefer to be seen as an old and lazy minimalist, not a clever person. clever was a pejorative where/when i was brought up. randy
