6. indent properly
7. spend more time answering questions from folks trying to use
debian and less time arguing about crap.

Seriously ... there have been several posts in the last two days that
have gone unanswered, but no shortage of posts in this thread.
Coming up with a list of "rules" is a pointless exercise; you do not
possess the ability to enforce your rules, unless you are the
listmaster.
I do support people who desire that "netiquette" be observed on this
list, and that includes such things as good old-fashioned plain-text
emails, no spam, proper quoting, honor reply-to and m-f-t headers (or
simply respond only to the list is unsure), etc.
No offense intended to participants in the thread; let's get back to
real debian advocacy (the software), and dispense with faux advocacy
(railing against the evils of what happens when the masses meet
email).
Cheers,
