Antonio Aparicio:
So, is anyone gonna let me in on what the rules are? I have asked before but they seem to be some sort of secret or something as nothing then materialized. From my experience so far with this group, the rules seem to change depending on who is involved and how long you have been subscribing to the list.
My impression of what the rules are is:
* Be nice. * Don't be boring. * Don't make OT threads too long.
The sum of this is that one has to be ready to stop posting in an OT thread as soon as others complains, beacuse it's not nice to behave in a way that the group at large disapproves of, and if people complain that the subject is boring, the OT thread *has* gone on for too long. That includes re-starting an old discussion in a new thread.
Basically, the same rules as on most other lists. Several other lists have harder rules, not so many have softer. The key to understanding this is that a list is a social entity. Joining a list is much like walking into a pub or a private party. Different social groups have different rules, but I'll have to follow them when I am there, or people will dislike me.
