I was just trying to point out that it goes both ways.

Even as an IT professional, I have dealt with incompetence both within my own organization and with vendors.

Part of the problem is there are a lot of IT people who know their stuff, very few are good at customer service. Companies will hire the high school kid who is a genius hacker (and has the corresponding communication skills and inferiority complex) over a college graduate to do entry-level IT service work because the kid is cheap. Things get even worse when that kid's job got outsourced halfway around the globe...
