Regarding your parable about Johnny Admins and the defective
house locks:

Scenario A:
Johnny puts flyers on the cars in the parking lots, the developers
are informed, maybe (MAYBE) one house is broken into before the
locks are fixed.

Scenario B:
Johnny changes his own locks and says nothing.  Within the next six
months, seven houses are broken into, ransacked, innocent children
maimed, housewives raped, and husbands tied up and forced to watch
Gomer Pyle reruns for hours on end.

Which scenario would you rather live in??

Submitted for your approval.....
