That "fourth point" was not a serious suggestion, it was a little
personal criticism. Somebody (he knows who he is) did exactly that to
me...

I think the points 1 to 3 are nice netiquette rules, but I also think
that Joris' comment that they don't belong in an FAQ makes sense. I
guess I'm somewhere in between "yes" and "no", leaning slightly towards
"no". Besides, aren't there some words to that effect already in the
FAQ?


*goes to take a look at the FAQ*

looking..... looking.... yes! here it is: point 9, "Can I copy this
ASCII picture?"...


Ummm... did any of you people *read* that document?
