Don't be one of those tiresome bitter sysadmins.


I'm not a sysadmin (I'll make no comment on the counts of tiresome or bitter), but it's hard to deny that many people could use the most basic of computer education. I cannot blame you nor anybody else for downvoting those sorts of posts, but can you really blame me for feeling the way I do?

I don't really care to argue over this, so consider that a rhetorical question.


Life's too short to worry about whether somebody can tell one piece of technology from another.


Not if their inability to do so makes one's life shorter.


If people using the wrong terms for electronic office equipment is stressing you out to that extent, it's not healthy, and I would suggest re-considering some of your choices that lead you to this point in life or, if that's not possible, maybe think about getting some help.

That's in all seriousness, btw, it's not worth getting upset about stuff like that.


I think that willful ignorance is worth getting upset over. It may not be "healthy", but it's worth it.

And with that, I think I really am done perpetuating this silly discussion.
