No need. I did say "most people" ;)

Humour aside, OK, I agree my comment was a little argumentative, so if 
any one is offended I'm sorry. I do stand by it though to the degree it 
applies far too often than it should.

A fried of mine, who works of a well known (huge) oil company, once told 
me a story of how he was working on a linux box and needed to fix 
something. He knew exactly what needed to be done, but couldn't since he 
didn't have root access. He had to call up the company tech support, and 
after explaining the problem the first question was "What is linux ?" ...
