FFS.....I can just hear them now..

I do support for a small company(about 150 end users)and these are the same
issues I go through daily, don't even try and explain exploits, it leads to
another whole world of frustration/pain..most people don't even want to
understand..

I say it all the time to my boss...IT support is a thankless job as the only
time I/we get a call is when someone's not happy...

On the other hand....without those dimwits I would be out of a job...God
bless the dill's..
