Hi Eric,

>(Consider the list's statement of purpose; common sense; etc.)
maybe you think about your own statement - is this list realy the place to
talk about how to deal with mailing-list? There are thousends of "how-to"
articles all over the net. Now you demand "Perhaps the list manager could
simply post a set of such guidelines every couple of months as a gentle
reminder." - but what you are looking for is a regulated but dead list. IMO
there is no need for additional guidelines. Why behave like a teacher
instead of helping like a friend?
The LUG is very active and so there are a lot of mails comming in. With a
good mail-software like Eudora (Netscape will release a Browser-only
Communicator in the next weeks - I don't like those "all in one" solutions)
you can easily build up filters to catch all the LUG msgs...
Cheers,
Detlef
