RE: List Etiquette
When it's one email, that's fine. When you post something to the list and you get 10 out of office emails, then it's annoying. Not alone that sometimes they don't even have a cache implemented and keep on getting out of office emails even when i reply to the same thread. That's my definition of annoying thing (that can be easily fixed). In some lists you are off the list if you refuse to change your OOO settings.

RE: List Etiquette
There is an easy way to deal with this, particularly given that the bulk of the audience of this particular list is likely to be Exchange admins, and that is to use a public folder. Subscribe the public folder, then also subscribe your personal account but with the nomail option. You can then reply to messages that are in the public folder, from your own account. I am doing that right now. It also means that list email is not clogging up my personal mailbox, or requiring a rule to put it in to its own folder (which is what I used to do). If there are more than of you in the same company subscribed, it means a single copy of each email is stored in the public folder, which you can read at your own pace.

Re: List Etiquette
Same. And these are *easy* to filter. For us that belong to distribution lists, this is a must. People use OOFs.

RE: List Etiquette
When I go out of office I just go to the Sunbelt site and set my account to not get email from the list during that time. Same here, it is just being courteous to the other list members.
