Auditors

I had to deal with some auditors this afternoon. At one point towards the end, one of the auditors said "Hasn't anyone ever taught you how to answer auditors?" His point was they were looking for a yes or no answer. They had asked a question that was very generic and had nearly nothing to do with the thing they were auditing. I had started digging into them because of the question, and this was their response.

The only thing I could think of to say was "Hasn't anyone every taught you how to talk to Unix systems engineers?", but I didn't say it. It took considerable will power to not say this to them. Hopefully they are done and don't show up again tomorrow morning...
