Perhaps because what he has is 22 times 1 year of experience instead of
22 years of experience?

But this person, despite his qualifications, most likely had never even
heard of Linux or Apache. If this had happened to me, say 4 years ago, I
would have been in the same boat.

City Managers are usually hired, not elected. This person may lose his
job. Not for being ignorant, but for bringing down "bad publicity" on
the community. Had he just been courteous instead of a <bleep>, then

Cable companies are aggressively going after "small businesses". This
town is in that category. It is a small burg, from what I can tell. The
local cable company, Comcast, is really pushing their small business
internet connectivity.
