I was going to leave this alone, but I feel this lowers to the level of 
personal attacks and I'd like to address that.  Yes, my response was a bit 
glib (and tongue-in-cheek, which obviously didn't come across correctly). 
But that doesn't mean that the reasoning behind it isn't valid in some 
situations, and it certainly doesn't make me arrogant or unprofessional. 
As others have pointed out, there are industries and workplaces where any 
unlocked, unattended workstation is a major security risk.  Please don't 
assume that your use case is everybody else's.  And please keep it civil. 
Thanks.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled CentOS list programming (no 
pun intended).
