LOL... No offense taken. Didn't even think anything bad of what you said.

In general I find the biggest problem is probably lack of concern. It is often just a job, not a passion for most of the people I've worked with and seen in other businesses. I find that someone that is passionate about his/her job will usually be better at it. Sometimes arrogance though does come with that and one has to deal with that as well. (not directed at you, just a generalization).

Most of the Admins I run into simply do an 8-5 job and leave and never even think or talk about work until they clock in the next day. I have a semi-close friend in the same field, but he never talks about computers outside of work. There just their to get a paycheck and go home and it shows in their work.

I'm very glad to have you as another person to come onto the board with good experience and passion for his work. I think the TOP 25 or what ever the number is around here really help each other quite a bit with various tid-bits of information.
