I think it would be good if there was a list of rules detailing what was expected of subscribers in term of how to post, posting to the relevant list etc. As we all know threads get long, so trimming .sigs and what is not relevant to the conversation helps. Inline posting - this is a definite yes. Top posting should be a no-no and explicitely spelt out. Thread hijacking should go the way of the dodo bird too. If we get a set of rules, these should be sent to ppl when they subscribe and sent to current users as well. The fact is RH is providing resources to us at considerable expense I am sure. Seems a few rules on how those resources could be best utilitized is not out of place. Hope this could be a starting place.
