Your reasoning sounds like this:
I need help in renovating my flat. People at a university computing center
get paid for helping the users. Just denying helping me with this is not
acceptable!
Is this correct?
I am working at our department's computer center. I am working 60-90
hours a week these times - at the beginning of term - trying to keep our
computer center running. I'm not paid for my overtime. In my spare
time I am one of the people administering CTAN, which I am not getting
paid for too. I do this because I like my work and I like to help my users.
Guess what I am doing with someone who is requesting things (which may
be sensible but that's not the point) with your attitude. A kick in
the ass is the least thing I can think of.
And I assume that the RRZN staff works as hard as myself. So please
refrain from calling them names and go and play in your sand box.
