We were discussing a policy for list behaviour, which to date has not been
necessary. The list is generally pretty good at governing behaviour itself.

No, but the majority of subscribers (and definitely the list admins) prefer
open posting to the SLUG mailing list, leaning towards more anti-spam work
than moderation work. If you see the following thread from today, you can
see that we're doing an awesome job:

Again, this is orthogonal to a list behaviour policy.
