Just thought of sharing with you'll some draft rules which we find useful
to implement and maintain the peace on our LUG list. If you have
suggestions/ feedback, please pass them on. These rules were suggested,
polished and put together by ShankarD, ArvindY, Siddharth, B2, Yunus,
AshleyD and FN.

#1. Talk politely on-list. If you can't be polite, please consider
    unsubscribing.
#2. Please don't post any off-topic mail (non-GNU/Linux) to this list.
#3. In your reply, quote only minimum relevant portions of the earlier
    mail.
#4. Once a 'thread' is declared closed by the moderators, please don't
    insist on discussing it.
#5. Personal mail, meant for just 2-3 persons on-list, should not be
    posted to everybody on the list.
#6. Signatures and mast-heads should be of reasonable size. LOST
    tips, being informative and 'on topic' here, are welcome.
#7. If material is available on the web, post the URL with a small
    description of the same.
#8. Don't post only URLs without giving at least a brief idea of
    what the site contains. Some of our readers might not have
    speedy Net access.
#9. Don't repeat the same posting more than once to this list.
#10 If you find a good GNU/Linux-related newsletter which can be
    subscribed-to via the web, send in a brief synopsis of the
    newsletter and directions on how to subscribe to the same.
#11 If you find something that would be of interest in a newsletter,
    send across the excerpts of the relevant snippets. Eg. a snippet
    or two from Freshmeat newsletter, rather than the entire posting.
#12 Try to condense information and post. This is needed in view of the
    growing number of members on this list.
#13 Rather than curse the darkness, light a lamp. If you feel this
    list could be better off with more useful information circulated
    through it, please post something that others would learn from.
#14 Commercial postings (in moderate length), must necessarily
    go with the [COMMERCIAL] tag on the subject-line. Such postings
    should preferably be occasional, and not too frequent.
#15 If anyone violates these rules (i) lodge a protest, if any,
    *only* with the moderators, and not directly to the list as a
    whole (ii) preferably send a copy to the person who's behaviour
    you see as violative to the letter and spirit of these rules.

A little experience often upsets a lot of theory.
