I often see questions about how to do something or another that I would dearly love to do, only to find that the simple, straightforward procedure recommended is beyond my server credentials. It would be very helpful to me if those answers acknowledged that:

I can understand your frustration when presented with a simple solution that you can't implement because of lack of access to the server or adverse impact on other users of a shared server.
I'm sure if you look through the archives, you'll find many posts with various caveats. I just did <https://www.mail-archive.com/search?q=%22if+you+have+access%22&l=mailman-users%40python.org> and got 218 hits, so it's not that we're completely oblivious to this issue, but frankly, I and others already spend a great deal of time and energy supporting Mailman as volunteers and taking the additional time on every thread to determine what if any disclaimer is required is something I don't think I can do.
