To all those system administrators that have come before me, who have shared their wisdom with me personally or through books, articles, blogs, forum and list postings, I say thank you. I stand on the shoulders of giants every day I work in this field.

To all those system administrators working to advance this profession, in LOPSA and other organizations, I say thank you. It is because of you that we even have this day.

To all those system administrators out there, who toil every day in relative anonymity ensuring the services we rely on stay operational, I say thank you.  It is you that makes things work, keeping the users, developers, and managers happy day after day.

Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day!
