Addition to mailing list code of conduct as discussed on debian-user?



[I suggested the following: somebody else thought it a good idea - Andy]
Agreed. It may be a good idea to add to the mailing lists code of 
conduct a couple of extra lines:

---------------

A lot of questions asked on debian-user and debian-devel are asked 
regularly. Please consider searching using an Internet search engine
and reading the mailing list archives, Debian install notes and Debian 
reference manual before you post. If you can't find the answer, it is 
very helpful to others to show that you have attempted at least some of 
the above and your degree of success.

If you have a problem, please be prepared to give hardware/installed 
software and version information if requested to as part of the process 
of problem resolution.

Politeness and precision in use of language both help to narrow down 
issues and constrain extraneous discussions and flame wars. If tempted 
to start or continue contentions threads, please consider moving these
to private email or to debian-curiosa. Both debian-user and debian-devel
are high-volume lists read by people worldwide: consideration should be 
given to the fact that the views and attitudes of others may differ from 
your own.
