Hi Brian,

IMHO it is necessary to point out such mistakes, because they're usually
made by people that are simply not aware of basic netiquette principles
and, contrary to you, are willing to learn and practice them to help
making this list more readable. It is sad to hear you say "I have never
followed these advices, not about to start now".

Thread hijacking, 'untrimmed' posts etc. _are_ indeed a serious problem,
and any help on educating people about them (in a polite way, of course)
is valid and will improve overall experience.

Best,

Andre
