At first I sent this is a direct mail to the listed folks, but decided
to send it on to the list:

I think gentle etiquette reminders are fine, if they don't begin to bog
down the list. Perhaps a short list etiquette mailing once a week or so
for new users, similar to FAQ postings, would be in order.
It could be as simple as:
1. Please use descriptive subject headers.
2. Please delete all portions of the messages replied to not directly
related to your response (ie, the example you are discussing, or the
suggestion you are disagreeing with).
3. No off subject posting. Please keep to Perl and the uses of Perl.
4. No flames.
5. No attachments.
Or somebody could write a bot (not me; beyond my meager capabilities).
still keep and treasure the bot mail from Tom Christiansen's for
jeapardy posting. Its an honor to be chastised by the bot of such an
eminence. And so politely, too.
