I don't think that he's being elitist or snobby. I can tell you from first hand experience that it is one of the most frustrating thing to have to explain EVERYTHING you do you a superior who doesn't understand what you're talking about. it wastes both of your time, and ends up where it started. If he hired you to run the network, then having to explain every move you make to him (which, like I said, is pointless) is not only insulting, but completely counterproductive. In other words, if he wants to call the shots, then let HIM run the netwok. I'd like to see that happen. If not, then shut up and let me do my job, which doesn't include a *free education* for the boss. I simply don't have the time.
It may not be real but it definately is funny. And it just gives you a little insight as to what Network Admins are put through. The bottom line still is to not piss off that Network Admin =P
it would have been better if he just verbally bashed him without all the threats, but made it clear to him in person that he could blackmail him. that way, he couldn't get in trouble for writing the letter if it was ever used against him
