This probably won't do any good, but here goes.
Some DOs and DONTs when using a mailing list like this:
DO NOT:
1) Quote whole messages if you can avoid it. Certainly don't quote all 8
messages in a thread.
2) Post "me too" messages.
DO:
1) Keep off topic messages to a minimum.
2) Search the archives before you ask a question. This includes "Hi, I'm
a new developer and I have no clue" posts.
3) Try to check to see if someone has already answered something before
you offer your wisdom.
4) Try to be succinct. If you have not got your question/point out in the
first two sentences, a lot of people will delete it unread.
