Yeah, right.  The cleaning crew at the building where I work doesn't 
go looking through the papers on my desk, throwing some of them in 
the trash because they think they belong there even though I didn't 
actually want to throw them out, and sometimes getting offended by 
the content of some of them and threatening to get me fired over it.  

It's a favorite trope to claim they're just "janitors", but WP admins 
often act more like Judge Dredd.
