Here's a couple more.
1: If you manage, on your own, to find a solution to a problem you
posted about previously, then please please please post your solution to
the list so that others who may later encounter the same problem can
avoid having Google search results that are all questions with no
answers.
2: If someone posts a problem, and gives all the relevant information
(hardware configuration, log files, errors, etc), and the only thing you
can respond with is "Works for me", then please do everyone a favor and
don't even bother posting.
