I find it hard to believe that such an etiquette would have any practical use whatsoever. Especially if there are no sanctions attached, which is what I presume you mean. An etiquette with sanctions enforced by the moderators would just be an expansion of the current charter. As for myself, I can safely say that I would ignore any behavioural guidelines with a clear conscience (even though some may have their fingers crossed in that regard ;o)). For that exact reason I doubt that any etiquette would change behaviour significantly. Basically, I feel that people should be allowed to express their opnion anyway they want withing the framework of the charter as administered by the moderators. If you have major grievances with a certain thread or subject then you should contact the moderators. Should the grievance be minor then make a comment consistant with the percieved felony. The "too many threads" complaint category is too insignificant to be worthy of special attention IMHO. Individuality is to be preferred, despite its shortcomings, to uniformity. Moderation removes the poison, but maintains the bite of interhuman relations. That is how I, as an argumentative, persistent and cynical person :o), prefers it to be. Mogens.
