I like this... 

Many times, I'll go down the path of helping a poster with a problem, and find that they're not in control of the system they're working on, or worse, trying to bypass the people who *are* responsible for the environment.

But beyond that, there are far too many items that fall under hardware or software vendor support. Should we see questions about [how to replace a hot-swap disk][1]? Or what [this error light][2] on the front of the server chassis means? Probably not...
