I have my humorous moments.  This wasn't one of them.

Button or no button to me, for an "admin", that's an unmitigated /fail,
period, the end.  Aljex may be tolerant of such things--or simply may not
know what you actually do.  I certainly hope it's the latter.  (The fact
that you cite this as even a belated or inadvertant success at pushing my
buttons just shows your overall immaturity, when we're discussing something
whose consequences impact nothing less than systems security.)

I personally and absolutely guarantee that if you (or anyone else)
hypothetically worked directly for me or was contracted directly under
me in any administrative capacity, and I found such horrible security
as 'umask 0' or 'chmod 666' in place when they had to answer -directly-
to -me- about the implementation as my subordinate (instead of as a
client or co-contracted colleague), they'd be terminated immediately for
incompetence, and replaced with someone that doesn't do such irresponsible
things.

At the point you advocate 'umask 0' or 'chmod 666' as valid solutions, even
as example code, without using the explicit warning "# DO NOT EVER PUT THIS
IN PRODUCTION" or similar, you just lost the right to even speak to me as
an "admin".  You may see things differently, but based on your examples you
also don't know what the hell you're doing, so who cares how you see it?

Don't bother responding, either.  I'm done feeding the ignorant troll, and
you've again made it onto my /dev/null list, congratulations.  I'll never
see a response, so don't bother unless you feel a need to blather about
how grand your work really is or how ignorant you feel I am.  In which
case, blather away...I won't see it, and I really don't give a damn.  Why
should I care about the opinion of someone I don't even consider competent
in the area in question?

I must be reading the WoW forums too often, because the only thing I find I
have left to say to you in parting is:  LRN2ADMIN
