I don't see a reason to change anything about this mailing list.
People who ask intelligent questions in a nice way will always be
helped. I have never seen a friendly and intelligent question ridiculed
by people who aren't obvious saboteurs or idiots.
Of course, every society has their share of bozos that will post crap in
Usenet and on mailing lists. You can't fix that, so you might as well
ignore it or regard those people as free entertainment.
If your question shows that you read the documentation, thought about
the problem yourself and tried the obvious things and it still does not
work, then people will be delighted to help you.
Talking about people who can't spell, didn't read the manual, post FAQs,
can't quote or do other offensive stuff is a complete waste of time.
Even following up on their dumb questions is a waste of time. Don't
reply. No reply is better than a nasty reply. And if you must send a
nasty reply, do it in private email and not on the mailing list.
Come on, people, this should be common sense.
Now let's stop this worthless thread that has been done a million times
on Usenet and will be repeated a milling times on Usenet and use the
bandwidth for something better.
Now that you all have a lot of new spare time *bg*, you can help me
writing IPv6 support for qmail. ;-)

If the style of your message looks ugly, people are less likely to help
you. This is a fact. So watch your spelling and grammar!
