+MAILING LIST ETIQUETTE
+----------------------
+
+A few tips when submitting to this or any mailing list.
+
+1. Make your subject short and descriptive. Avoid the words "help" or
+   "Samba" in the subject. The readers of this list already know that
+   a) you need help, and b) you are writing about samba (of course,
+   you may need to distinguish between Samba PDC and other file
+   sharing software). Avoid phrases such as "what is" and "how do
+   i". Some good subject lines might look like "Slow response with
+   Excel files" or "Migrating from Samba PDC to NT PDC".
+
+2. If you include the original message in your reply, trim it so that
+   only the relevant lines, enough to establish context, are
+   included. Chances are (since this is a mailing list) we've already
+   read the original message.
+
+3. Trim irrelevant headers from the original message in your
+   reply. All we need to see is a) From, b) Date, and c) Subject. We
+   don't even really need the Subject, if you haven't changed
+   it. Better yet is to just preface the original message with "On
+   [date] [someone] wrote:".
+
+4. Please don't reply to or argue about spam, spam filters or viruses
+   on any Samba lists. We do have a spam filtering system that is
+   working quite well thank you very much but occasionally unwanted
+   messages slip through. Deal with it.
+
+5. Never say "Me too." It doesn't help anyone solve the
+   problem. Instead, if you ARE having the same problem, give more
+   information. Have you seen something that the other writer hasn't
+   mentioned, which may be helpful?
+
+6. If you ask about a problem, then come up with the solution on your
+   own or through another source, by all means post it. Someone else
+   may have the same problem and is waiting for an answer, but never
+   hears of it.
+
+7. Give as much *relevant* information as possible such as Samba
+   release number, OS, kernel version, etc...
+
+8. RTFM. Google. groups.google.com.
