I myself am somewhat of a specialist in adminis...okay, in pet peeves.

One of those is rude behavior on mailing lists.  My response to that
(which covers your point and others) is here:

	Miss Mailers Answers Your Questions on Mailing Lists
	ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/faqs/mail/miss-mailers

That's a Usenet FAQ that's auto-posted about once a month.  And about
once every 2-3 months, someone who is obviously unclear on the concepts
explained therein writes to me, quotes *the entire thing*, and top-posts
their one-line question or comment.

I think the fact that (so far) I have not hunted these people down and
forced them to listen to "The Archies Greatest Hits" until their brains
shut down in desperate self-defense should qualify me for a Nobel Peace Prize.
