Not that my 2 cents is worth anything now days, but, you are 100% correct.
There is no such server, that you do not need to know something about
security or other things. In a perfect world, it would be nice. As long as
there are good people willing to help others out, it is great, but when
people try to profit from someone's mis fortune, then that is bad, I am not
saying that a firm or business should not make money fixing or upgrading
servers, but it seems that now days, all that is thought of, is the dollar,
and not helping or sharing knowledge.
