I'm kind of thinking the same If you despise and do not trust IT people (and most of us in this mailing list would fall under IT people). Then why are you still asking for help in the mailing list? You're tainting the reputation of the group that often help you (often if not always, for free!).
By all mean let's discuss ways to improve this industry. But calling IT people untrusted is not doing any favor to the industry, the customers, and even yourself. May be you're just bitter, I don't know. I hope you don't do this to be seen as more trusted by calling all the others less trusted.
