I'll probably get around to writing up some ideal ways to communicate on
the list eventually.. 

Some things I've noticed from other lists:
 - Hostility hampers productivity
 - Politeness can be constraining
 - People have personal email addresses and others don't think to use them
   in lieu of spamming the entire list
   
Try to post useful and/or helpful things. It's pretty simple, really.
