FWIW I have a mailing list and usenet posting netiquette page.

Stephan, you might want to read it to get an idea of generally accepted
practices on tech mailing lists (not just linux-oriented).

Of course, I'm open to constructive criticism if there are things you
(that's a collective 'you' addressed to the mailing list) feel are incorrect
or missing, but it might be a good idea to take further discussion on this
subject off-list.

So, regarding point #9 on the netiquette page, I *am* specifically
requesting personal reactions :)
