How do you define "sysadmin related"?

I'm done with Serverfault. When people can't see outside their own little box of what's system admin related they're not worth me wasting my time.

This question/COMMUNITY WIKI is related to OUR HEALTH and yet people think, not system admin related because it's not an enterprise technical question. Personally I put on 40 freaking pounds 2 years ago from the poor lifestyle I was leading as a result of being a system admin. Guess what, it is system admin related.

That guy who has a peer to peer network of 10 computers Windows XP Home manages with one of them being the "server" - He's a systems admin too, just not your concept of enterprise.

That question about how do I flash the Bios on my laptop? Well last time I checked I was doing that from work, too.

How do I access my home PC from work? Well when I use it when I work from home, that's a system admin related one too.

Or the question about a guy wanting to put a DB on one big freaking server and not cluster it? Get off your high horses, that's what he wants to do so rather then say "bad idea", or "it'll crash" just shut up or offer something useful.

And you sit there and wonder why people hate calling the Helpless Desk or IT Unsupport

Yes I was (am) one of those at times and work hard not to be. It was fun here for a while, I'm going outside for a bike ride now and get rid of a few more of those pounds.

And the question for this question is : why are admins so tied to their little box of what's system admin related?
