Hmmmm, yes.
Perhaps some guidelines about signature lines?

you could also add what is the policy about advertizing on the list? What
other resources (lists, repositories, etc) are available?

Subject: e: FAQ for the list
Well...
1. What subjects are acceptable on this list?
2. How much can these be stretched (can you ask how to use an
IDE, for example)?
3. What happens if you post an off-topic message? Is this okay
if you mark the message with an indicator, such as "OT"?
4. What is the cross-posting policy?
5. If I reply to sender, what happens?
6. What is the average list traffic?
That is all I have for now.
Have a great day,
Alex
