I'm getting tired of seeing the Subject Line: "Re: [OT] Moderation and 
list policy", and there isn't a lot new being added, plus there are a 
lot of names being used.

It would seem that 2 rules should govern, and neither need be written 
anywhere:

1: Do unto others as you wish done unto yourself.
       Not everyone can be proficient in ALL areas, and even if they are 
proficient in an area, they may be seeking confirmation on an idea. 
Would be nice to have a few words of what level they are. Then replies 
can be worded to an appropriate level of expertise. We all were 
beginners at one time. If one is asked to go elsewhere for help, would 
be good to at least point in a direction with links, search words, etc. 
At this point there have been more words spent on this topic, than it 
would take to answer a years worth of less than best worded questions.

2: This is a technical forum, all subjects should be able to be 
discussed in technical terms without names, other than an occasional 
reference to the content of one's posting to separate it from other 
postings on the entire thread.
