On a more serious tone, I am in favour of adopting industry standards of good practices, rather than to reinvent the wheel. We have accumulated wide experience in mailing list management with inappropriate cross-posting, excessive postings, irrelevant (or off-topic) subjects, and so on. The conclusion is always the same: either the list is meant to be the soap box in Hyde Park, and will best suited by a certain set of rules (or lack thereof), or is meant to be a working environment, and will consequently adopt a different set of working procedures. So the first step is for the ALAC to decide what is the purpose of this mailing list, and then simply adopt the set of rules that will allow the purpose to be achieved. Cheers, Roberto
