Seriously ... there have been several posts in the last two days that
have gone unanswered, but no shortage of posts in this thread.
Coming up with a list of "rules" is a pointless exercise; you do not
possess the ability to enforce your rules, unless you are the
listmaster.
I do support people who desire that "netiquette" be observed on this
list, and that includes such things as good old-fashioned plain-text
emails, no spam, proper quoting, honor reply-to and m-f-t headers (or
simply respond only to the list is unsure), etc.
No offense intended to participants in the thread; let's get back to
real debian advocacy (the software), and dispense with faux advocacy
(railing against the evils of what happens when the masses meet
email).
Cheers,
