As I wrote a few months ago, I feel it would be best if someone from Ipswitch could post a canned weekly reminder -- as was the case quite a while ago -- delineating the purpose of this list. They (Ipswitch) could/should add what they consider to be appropriate etiquette as well.
Since this is an unmoderated vendor-provided list (thanks, Ipswitch), it seems logical to me that the vendor should establish a set of guidelines rather than having a situation where some list members feel that they must act as "moderators" -- and take criticism for their well-meaning efforts. The suggestions that I have seen proposed by some members are, in my view, quite appropriate. I'm just hoping that Ipswitch will review them and resume posting reminders that include [some of] these etiquette guidelines. This would take the load off of some participants who feel like they should police this list. I think that we would thus have the best of both worlds: An unmoderated list with vendor-determined guidelines.
