It's a hard balance to strike. If no one corrects things like thread 
hijacking, inappropriate top-posting or insufficient (or nonexistant) 
quoted material trimming, the overall quality of the list deteriorates. 
Not to sound like a grizzled oldtimer (whether or not I actually am), 
the active community on this list isn't nearly as fastidious about 
these things as it was a few years ago.

There are better and worse ways to ride herd on the newbies, but the job 
must be done.
