It has taken decades of beating downs with ridiculous tickets and support calls,
to stop me reaching for and wielding the clue stick vigorously.
People are so clueless, they don't know what having a clue is.
So try to teach them how to deal with issues, so they don't have to ask the same
questions again, and have an approach for similar questions.
My favourites are the annual application users: I ran something a year ago and
it doesn't work this year.
