Mind if I ask what you allow on your systems, today? Or the last time you worked in IT? (Not clear if you moved away from it or not)

  I think the implication was that his radical puritanism left him unemployable except as a literal bus driver.

    Very droll, but incorrect. Also, I believe the word you're looking for is purism. I'll certainly go along with that. Also also, out of curiosity, where did you dredge up the "he"?

      For what it's worth, the male form is generally used when gender is unknown. I suspect those linguistic defaults will start changing soon.

        It's being replaced by they. Which I'm fine with btw.

  Moved away by own choice. Never looked back.

    Ok, fine. But again, what did you "allow" on the systems you managed back in the day?
