Systems administrators and users often don't see eye-to-eye on priorities and policy. Having been a lab proctor, a sysop, a sysadmin, and a user before at various different times, I thought I would take a crack at expressing some of these differences from the user's point of view.

As always, thanks for reading, and I hope this gives you a bit of food for thought. The opinions expressed above are solely my own and I take responsibility for them. Feel free to concur or disagree, but please do tell me why either way.
