I would be very happy with some simple (and very relaxed) policy
that, possibly by technical means, prevents rude behaviour. My reason
is not to improve the quality of the list - for this such a simple policy
will surely not be enough - but for me to have a better time reading.
In particular:
- I hate reading posts that contain offensive wording: using such
    words is almost never needed for agi matters and irritates me.
- I really hate top-posting and using overly long quotes from previous
    emails (like quoting a few threads back in full) because it makes it
    very hard to just skim through a thread I don't want to be involved in.

With the number of posts to this list increasing recently, I think that
some (not overly strong) technical policy is a good idea, especially for
people like me who do not want to spend all too much time on this list.
