All interesting stuff, Jim.
I think my admin experience has probably given me the mindset that
requesting (although often considering !) certain etiquette is a waste
of time and impractical; this is probably largely because my area of
experience is with lists/forums where the participants have mild
through to severe personal and emotional problems. ie, the last thing I
want to enforce or could achieve, is demand tough rules on how to post.
I do however have a fairly strict Conduct and Discipline Structure,
offered by me and agreed by concensus, regarding what people post about
and how they treat each other. I reasonably often have to use it, and
seems to be fair and effective without imposing 'my' views specifically.
Out of interest, here it is : (url broken here to avoid unwanted search
