14 | I think this thread appears "overkill" because I used ALL-CAPS in the

22 Actually, I agree with you - my original reply must have been the result of an
23 approximation. I don't believe you were rude at all, or that you were having a
24 go at the original hijacker. I apologize if I gave that impression.

26 As I said in my reply to PaulNM, I feel that this list should have an FAQ that
27 elucidates the etiquette of this mailing list, sent to new subscribers, and
28 posted periodically to the list. It could cover a large number of things - not
29 just thread hijacking, and would help to prevent such things, in the future.
