Never said they should refrain. I do think that it's a waste of time though.

You don't need to drop any rules that you are happy with and comply with
yourself. Just don't expect anyone else to do so.

I don't like school boy rules and I thought I'd tell everyone. The
netiquette stuff (and others) are a pretty exclusive policy as there are
such a myriad of rules that can be broken that its use is more to make the
other party look stupid compared to the technical knowledge of their
accuser.
