It's true that a formal constitution might be overkill, but will it hurt
to talk things out that way?  We're kind of an odd list in that we want
neither moderation nor any one final arbiter of good behavior, but we also
don't want to put up with bad behavior.  It might be sufficient simply to
agree that listowners don't have unilateral unsub/warning-to-unsub
privileges, and let everything else go.  But it seems to me to be a good
idea to talk everything out, at least.
