not at all strange - generally software professionals (people 'trained' in CS or IT) are terrified of laymen with geek qualities. I mean if any 'idiot' can do sysadmin then their jobs are on line. Which is why software professionals are the biggest obstacle to the foss movement - again they are terrified that their jobs are on line. This is nothing new - in all domains, people with domain knowledge try to keep that knowledge to themselves and are hostile to any laymen encroaching on their domains.
