Another suggestion for mailing lists is try to refrain from posting cute
replies, one liners etc (I know it's difficult ;-). By all means add them
onto the bottom of relevant posts to lighten the mood. Having just waded
through dozens of posts in this thread I can't help feeling that not all of
them were contributing much to the discussion!
As far as advertising is concerned I'd agree with no commercial advertising
but don't have a problem with the occasional personal item, freebie etc
relevant to Linux Users (ie I want to know if someone's got a spare linux
compatible modem, or perhaps x-terminal going cheap :-). If the usergroup
requirements are different from the mailing-list host then I suggest
move. I am quite happy to host a unrestricted mailing list if needed.
An alternative would be to have a separate buy/sell/free mailing list.
