For this one, there will (IMHO) always be someone coming in just a few 
posts after a topic has been addressed in the thread. If you stay with 
any list long enough, you will experience someone asking the same (or a 
similar) question as earlier. What I try to do is just accept that some 
people may not have (or keep) the earlier posts like I do, and I do a 
search for that topic info and repost it (or just send it to the person 
off-list). "We're Mac users; we tend to help each other out" (my opinion, 
drawn in part on the familiar phrase, "It's a Macintosh; it's *supposed* 
to be fun").

No comment on the first two. Nuff said...

The guidelines sound good to me, also.
