Exactly! But seriously - I don't see this as a valid comparison.

But you don't cripple yourself in the process. Accepted best practices 
should be more than enough 'help' for those who are competent to run 
their own server.

As for people who dig themselves in a hole due to laziness/ignorance 
and/or incompetence - well, the people on this list are by far the most 
courteous I have met when it comes to people asking questions that they 
would get shot down in flames for if asked on the courier-imap or 
postfix lists, so anyone who does come asking for help, will simply have 
their error politely pointed out to them, complete with recommendations 
on how to remedy their problem, no?

By the way - what is 'ultruism'? At first I thought it was a typo, but 
you did it twice... ;)
