Terah suggested that I post a translation for those of you that aren’t network admins. So here goes.

Say you recently bought a used car from someone in the classifieds. It’s been running well for you, but after you’ve driven it only 200 miles, it suddenly won’t start. You call up the dealer (who didn’t sell the car to you) and accuse him of vandalizing your car, and threaten to report it to the cops. The dealer tries to help you with your problem over the phone, but you refuse to answer any questions, insisting that you’re going to call out the FBI.

Finally, the dealer sends a mechanic to your house, just to make you go away. The mechanic determines that you haven’t filled up the car with gas. You fill it up, and then call up the dealer to tell them that the car works now, and if they would have just told you to add gas in the first place, they could have avoided all this finger-pointing.
