Probably.  The state's IT workers aren't the brightest lights on 
the Christmas tree, if you get my drift....

They're members of a public employee union.  Performance -- or 
even competence -- is not a job requirement.

I saw a lot of ignorant MCSEs with inflated egos when I worked 
there.  Thought they knew everything, but... well....  they're 
MCSEs.  'nuff said.

P.S.  Interesting that THIS particular .sig came up at this
