[Sigia-l] Evidence of list success (was Ziya, constitution, rules, etc.)

[Betsy Martens]

Your points are all good, Lyle! Add Eric Reiss's:

---------
* Each new poster can ask three stupid questions before we jump all
over them.

* We will never direct askers of stupid questions to the archives.

* We agree that there ARE no stupid questions – just IAs with
different levels of experience.

And as a bonus rule:

We will always strive to be helpful, not show off or goad the
original poster.
---------

and then I think we'll all be ready for that group hug. What time was 
it scheduled for exactly?
