Yes.  Definitely.

I've had plenty of conversations now with lots of site admins at various
.edu sites (and also at a .com site or two) who have been made to feel that
(for political reasons) they have to allow some real boneheads to setup,
configure, and run their own lists any bloody way they want _and_ with little
or no specific guidance.

It is a sad state of affairs.
