Where do you expect all these warnings about silly things not do to be
posted?  It's hard enough providing documentation to new sites about how to
configure themselves correctly, and this mostly involves the
administrators.  Even if the networking providers collect all this wisdom
into reasonable documentation, it probably won't get into the hands of most
of the users, and they're the ones who make these mistakes.
