&gt;The difference is, the part that I found rather arrogant was not the not
&gt;granting of powers, but rather, the arrogance of not even being willing
&gt;to talk with the person, simply because they logged on as a newbie and
&gt;identified themselves as a fellow coder/admin.  I would not hand out the
&gt;keys without getting to know the person, but I think it a sore loss to not
&gt;take the time to even converse with them for the reason that they didn't
&gt;fit your specific protocol for saying hello.

Mostly, I don't have the time to talk to these people.  I am busy enough as
it is (when I am logged on).  Why should I take time out to talk to
everyone that logs on and claims to be an admin/whatever elsewhere?

Plus the fact that I am rarely ever even visible to players anyway :)
Mostly if I do end up putting someone in the fluffy domain or talking to
someone about a specific thing it will be because someone else has
recomended this to me and already done all the preliminary checking.

Unseen!  Unseen!
David.
