+====== Mailing Lists ======
+===== List Etiquette =====
+Before subscribing to any of the OCLUG mailing lists, please read over the
+guidelines below.  Following these simple etiquette rules will make your
+experience as part of OCLUG much more pleasant and rewarding.  You may even
+make some new friends.
+  * //Topics// - Please try to keep on-topic. We
+  are a Linux users group, so we care about subjects relating to Linux,
+  UNIX/GNU software development, Free and Open Source software applications
+  that run on Linux, and the like.  If you feel they are appropriate,
+  off-topic posts may be marked by putting [[:OT]] in the subject line to inform
+  people that it will not be a Linux-related discussion.
+  * //Signal to Noise Ratio// - When posting a
+  follow-up to an existing thread, please trim superfluous information.
+  Everyone following the thread will need context to follow your
+  contributions, but excess reading material is cumbersome and difficult to
+  read.
+  * //Plain Text Only Please// - Please do not
+  post in HTML, as many mail clients will not correctly display HTML mail. HTML
+  also interferes with accessibility for the visually-impaired.  If you would
+  like to reference an image or external document, please include a plain text
+  URL (e.g.: !http://www.linuxsymposium.org) in your email message.
+  * //Attachments// - Please limit attachments
+  to OpenPGP signatures.  If you wish to post a document please
+  post a plain text URL to the location of the document.
+  * //Signatures// - It is a traditional
+  courtesy to keep your email signature to 5 lines or fewer.
+  * //Read your post before you hit send.// -
+  Remember that those email addresses belong to actual live people with
+  feelings and their own tendency toward knee-jerk reactions.  If you take
+  your time and compose well written messages, and avoid personally attacking
+  the people behind the addresses, they will respect you and do the same.
+  Remember -- everything you say is archived and there for everyone to see;
+  politeness will go a long way to giving you a good reputation on-line.
