Guidelines are needed. They have the purpose of establishing order. A newcomer will do whatever unless he is made aware of the conventions used. Some individuals have a sense of order and commitment and will try to bring the guidelines up to light. This actually helps because most people don't care about keeping order. I believe the approach is the key: the tone used to remind repeat offenders or made newcomers aware of the conventions. Anarchy must be avoided. Everything around us is an ordered chaos. This list is *the* resource of help for many. Thanks to the few that share their years of experience with the rest of us. ~af -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
