Please let's be nice on this list. I know that we have a large number
of new subscribers lately, so I think that a little tolerance and
pleasantness is in order. Just because someone is slightly off track
(or even completely) or accidently includes the wrong subject line,
I don't think that this calls for "flames" and especially the use
of unpleasant language. Even if "nettiquette" allows for flaming
I think that this list should really be above such childishness.

The list is a wealth of useful information, opinion and entertainment,
let's not turn it into a flamefest. I don't understand why someone
feels the need to complain about trivia (wrong subject line) and then
subject the rest of us to mails like the one that I have just typed,
and the one included below. Please BE NICE!
