Of course had this person known about this list and queried here using his AOL 
or Comcast or GMAIL ID, he might never have been found out. Which brings me 
back to the question - Do we offer free tech support to those unwilling to read 
the manual? Or worse pass themselves off as competent to organizations devoted 
to outsourcing OUR jobs? If the poster is unwilling to identify his/herself and 
the organization they work for, perhaps we should without advice for our own 
benefit.

I really agree with you. I have seen many a sysprog wanna be's sit 
back and want the world served up to them.
I walked into one place and 3 out of the 3 sysprogs were exactly like 
that. It took 2 years to get rid of them but it was worth it. They 
had no interest whatsoever in learning. Early on I had one come up up 
to me and ask a question that should have gotten him fired on the 
spot. I handed him a manual and told him to look it up. He was too 
lazy to and tried an end run. I walked up to him while he was asking 
someone else and I asked him if he couldn't find the answer in the book.

He spent his entire day scheduling volley ball beach games. Between 
the boss and myself it took 1 year to get rid of him.
