Hear! Hear!

Gentle-people of the list, the problem of perceived ill behavior is probably
as old as the original Usenet.  Terms like flaming, flame war and flamebait
were around long before Linus created his first program, let alone gave us
Linux.

There will always be responses you perceive as being rude, nasty and
uncalled for.  Some such behavior can be traced to cultural differences,
some to miss-communication and. sometimes, some people just take pleasure in
being a know-it-all jerk.  

If you get individual e-mails from the list, feel free to set up a rule in
your mail client to route e-mails from people you perceive as fitting this
last category to /dev/null.  Please, do not ask the moderators to play God
and distinguish a valid but harsh response from flamage.  For those of us
who receive the digest, I find a glass of wine or a beer helps when dealing
with those who contribute too much noise and not enough content.

Now, can we drop this thread?

Cheers,
Dave
