		<description>[...] No, no, I&#8217;m not talking about the &#8220;guru&#8221; part (although they did change it to &#8220;Ranger&#8221;). I&#8217;m talking about how they interact with the community.

		<description>Thanks for the feedback:  we've now changed the title to System Ranger.  As Wim explains...

I think a better job title would be something like "systems ranger" --- think old-West cowboy movie. The systems ranger roams the dusty server-room, righting misconfigurations and keeping an eye on the horizon for trouble approaching. When something goes wrong, he shows up, fixes it, and then rides off into the sunset with the cheers of the grateful townspeople (that's us) following him. He's an icon of trustworthiness and security and maintaining the status-quo. He helps with everything from fighting off the Black Hats to finding little Timmy's lost puppy.</description>

		<description>Guru isn't so bad.  A little dated, maybe.  A little 'dot com/bomb' perhaps.  But not so bad, really.

Me I still like 'Systems Administrator' while reserving the right to order (at my own expense) a small cache of 'fun' biz cards like 'Systems Mage' or "Systems Apologist".

You're probably flooded with resumes. On the other hand it's a reasonable fit and I've been going on at length about moving (back) to the Northwest.</description>
