</div>once again I need to emphasise that first we need to decide whether this list<br>
will have recommended posting guidelines - else, every time anyone is reminded<br>
of it he will say 'who you to tell me how to post?'<br></blockquote><div><br> Yes. It is better to have some guidelines and being informed up front <br> when joining the list than having to remind each and every person,<br>
"do this, do that, don't do this, don't use attachments, don't X post" etc...<br> <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
