Hi Jethro, and other concerned list users,

A monthly reminder of the list's acceptable user policy doesn't hurt, in 
fact, at WLUG, we found it very helpful.
The level of noise has since dropped significantly. 

Also adding this rule to the AUP has been *really* effective...
    "As list users, use your discretion when pulling people up over 
etiquette - please reply off list, and if there is a serious breach, the 
list administrator will probably have dealt with it off-list already."
It had dramtically dropped the level of noise :)

Also, this is a good guide to point users to...
