Mitnick Banned From Security Group
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-02-13

By all accounts ex-hacker Kevin Mitnick created only a modest stir when he sauntered into the December meeting of the Los Angeles chapter of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA). He sat quietly, paid attention, and at the conclusion of the meeting joined with some of the other 60-odd attendees swapping business cards, chatting with fellow computer security workers and discussing his plans for his new consulting business, Defensive Thinking. "He wasn't flashy at all," recalls one chapter member, who didn't recognize Mitnick until the conclusion of the meeting. "He introduced himself as 'Kevin.'"

You sound very much like those people who think sys administration can be quantified into neat little packages, then taught at MCSA and A+ courses. That's about 25% of what you actually need to know, ignoring the rest doesn't take into account creativity or non-linear thinking, which Mitnick probably has loads of (never met him myself). YOU sound like a stale and narrow thinker.
