I have to say, I certainly do agree with you.  I was thinking the exact 
same thing, but didn't want to turn this thread into a flame war. 
Personally, it's a lack of respect on both sides that cause trouble. 
Not respecting and trusting your admins leads to them acting like 
children.

Remember being told, as a kid, 'don't do this' (whatever it was) and the 
one and only thought on your mind is 'I HAVE to do that'?  Every child 
gets that way.  Not trusting your admins gets the same result.    (IMHO)

I don't think we need to make this a long, drawn out thread on ethics, I 
only asked if that was wise simply because I think it's not and wanted 
to hear what others say.
