It is true about sticks and stones etc etc. However I have always found that the title "IT guy" is somehow used to diminish the status and importance of the support people by those who "just use" computers and associated software.

I never allow anyone to label me the IT guy (call it pride, call it conceit or call it career protection) - but I always take time to defend and support the "IT guys" that I work with from the connotations applied by this label - even the painfully nerdy ones lacking the most rudimentary social skills
