You have a problem with a netiquette guide for OCLUG?  Being dictated to?  
Follow your own advice and don't read it.  Nobody's making you sign 
anything and nobody's forcing you to subscribe.  

FWIW, I had all your messages procmailed out for months because there was 
rarely anything worth reading.  Usually it was just the start of one of 
these arguments.

Milan wants to ensure his enjoyment of the oclug list, I suspect.  I also 
suspect his motivation is to inform people that by not following certain 
common standards, they are unknowingly misrepresenting themselves as 
idiots.  His wording is better than mine, but the idea is to simply let 
people know what's commonly expected.
