Good to see some suggested list etiquette - good work James.

Could this be changed to "place your replies after the text you are 
replying to. This gives the message a natural, conversational structure 
and is a long established convention on email lists.

I don't understand this bit about the '>' sign. If we use that for 
something it shows up as 'replied to' text. It could also benefit from 
being a seperate point perhaps.
