QA isn't sysadmins. Sysadmins aren't QA. Sysadmins
aren't all programmers. Sysadmins have other stuff to
be doing. Back off on the blame parade.
(Not to mention, we're probably talking Windows here for
a significant portion of this stupidity, and Windows
admins are even less likely to be programmers, in my
small experience. Not to mention, we're probably also
talking about groups which don't have the time/resources
to do serious QA. Not to mention, even if the sysadmin
can program (most likely perl), the programmers might not
write in the same language (here, they do tcl).)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
