Today's title is an acronym: Simple Brain Damaging Monstronsity.


Some examples: SMTP, SNMP, SOAP. All these SBDMs share the same first letter: S for  Simple.  Simple
as the tangled snake hair of Medusa. Simple as Cthulhu's waving tentacles. Simple as in "eating your
brain and leaving you screaming in horror".


In IT, the moment you see the word "simple", yoy must run. You must run as fast as  you  can,  or  a
SBDM will devour your soul and leave you wimpering in a corner of your empty mind.
