It's seen on several other networks, too.  Agreed that it's a lack of 
knowledge in many cases, and done intentionally in some cases.  It 
actually causes me to not even want to bother calling (as I mentioned in 
a recent post - the "Boy Who Cried Wolf' syndrome).

Also common with "autopilot" sysops who don't even know what's going on 
with their systems, and don't even check anything for weeks/months at a 
time.  Aaarrgggghhhh.
