This already exists...

Eventually, if some one was flagrant enough about ignoring suggestions to
modify their behavior on the list, they would probably be involuntarily removed
from the list. As far as I can recall (I have been on the list virtually from the 
beginning), only one person has ever been removed.

This _is not_ a moderated list. All any one is asking is that people not abuse
that fact that it is un-moderated. Since it has been in existence for over
three years and is just now getting a "written" set of guidelines speaks well
for everyone who has participated. 


Everyone just be nice and respect each other.

Speaking for myself, not directly for NTLUG.
