I think you'll find that when you eliminate the flame wars lurkers will be 
more willing to post without fear of having their heads bit off.  This keeps 
a list going.  This is exactly what happened on O&S

> How would you change the list rules or not?

Stop the personal attacks and name calling, it's childish.  A good rule of 
thumb is, "would you say that to someone's face?"  It's easy to spout off 
behind an email address.  I can remember the early days when flame wars were 
just about daily routine.  At a get together in NYC (MSG Quad run) several 
list members met for the first time.  Many mortal enemies online got along 
just fine, realized they had more in common than not with each other and 
buried the hatchet.

> How would you deal with those who choose to not abide by list guidelines?

1st offense-a "public" warning
2nd offense-temporary ban, someone said 2 weeks that's fine
3rd offense-you're gone
