+This is a must for any mailist/discussion group. This will establish the 
+Mageia convention in its use of mailist/discussion behaviour. It would 
+also be a good reference point for new users.
+
+However, I track 20-30 mailist for one of my websites, and ALL of these 
+list constantly bemoan the fact that people tend to "break" the rules. 
+It is just human nature at work. The rules just need to be repeated 
+every so often to put the discussion partners back on track. It is just 
+to be expected.
