I wonder if this is a little harsh. If you click on the "support" button
on the Debian Web site you may find yourself directed to this list. The
code of conduct (http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/) says nothing
about netiquette, neither does the email message you get when you first
subscribe. (Perhaps this message could be altered to include some
guidance?) Could we not welcome new users by pointing them more gently
in the right direction?
Can anyone tell me where to find "the RFC called netiquette" referred to?
Chris.
