As one who is guilty of numerable gaffs on the list I will endeavor to 
follow these rules:

1-I will clean up my replies to the list to save bandwidth.
2-I will include only relevant text from the previous messages using <text> 
when I cut up paste it into my response.
3-I will put that relevant text on the top of my response so that others can 
quickly see if they are interested.
4-I will fix up my subject lines to match the current version of the thread.
5-When replying to the list I will remove individuals from my To: and Cc: 
boxes.
6-I will try to reply to the list only when I am adding something of value 
to others (not to make myself feel smart).
7-I will continue to use the delete button judiciously (I have renamed mine 
F1).
8-Rather than posting specific questions to the list I will choose a few 
selected folks (much harder without Jack).
9-If I have a technical topic that benefits some in the group I will post to 
the list.
10-I will try and remember to make sure I sign the bottom of my posts.

ps. I will be guilty of forgetting these rules from time to time, forgive 
me.
pps. Am I posting to try and make myself feel smart? If use the delete 
button NOW.
