Oh, come on... give it a rest. The only thing I can assume is that you
deliberately misunderstand.
I have nothing against listening to users. To return to my earlier
example, if the designers I support say they need software package "X",
then assuming they can justify it and we can afford it, we get it for them.
That doesn't mean I let them decide how it will be installed.
How are they any less empowered? They have skills I don't, and I have
skills they don't. I don't push in where *I* don't know, and in return I
expect the same.
And I certainly don't take the position that they have to learn everything
there is to know about keeping a PC or a Mac running in order to do *their*
job.
