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.
