Outstanding. The last item might be setting the bar discouragingly high though: "Use common sense all the time." It is sort of paramount to saying, "alright, everyone out of the pool!" Maybe a bug report: replace it with "Don't top your posts." I note the item admonishing *never* to post in html. The abundance of confusing html quotes, which I refuse to sort through, have been discussed here. ;) -- Kind Regards, Freeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
