I've managed lists for more than fifteen years. 99% of users have table manners and they don't need rules. For the remaining 1%, here are the rules.

• SV Web is a networking list for Silicon Valley.
• If you have questions about the list, contact the moderator: andreas@andreas.com.
• If you have technical problems, contact the list's tech support at http://groups-beta.google.com/group/SV-Web/
• Acceptable topics include: Discussions about technologies, technical writing, HTML, the web, jobs, professional life in Silicon Valley, and related topics.
• Unacceptable topics include: non-technical or off-topic chat.
• Your emails should be signed with your name and affiliation (your company or city.) For example, Laura Hong, Oracle, or Laura Hong, Cupertino.
• Three emails per day limit: Please do not send more than three emails within a twenty-four hour period.
• Please do not send attachments to the list. Many are using other systems that can't read your files. Most corporate sites will block attachments to avoid virus.
• No personal attacks: If you annoy others, several things may happen. First, people will complain to the moderator and you may get a warning. Second, the moderators will advise people, either privately or publicly, how they can set their email software to automatically delete your postings, so nobody sees what you write. You will be talking in an empty room. Third, if you continue to annoy others, you may be deleted from the list.
• No posting of private emails. If you receive a private message and then post it to the entire list, you may be deleted from the list.
• Do not copy and re-send the message to which you are replying. This is annoying to those who use the digest option and may have to wade through the same message four or five times. Quote, paraphrase, or copy and paste.
• If you feel personally attacked, please do not respond. Send an email to the moderator: andreas@andreas.com.
• Decisions by the moderators are final and do not require notification, justification, or explanation, nor is there any appeal. The moderator may change the rules at any time without notification. You are a guest on this list. By posting to the list, you accept these rules.

The list's moderator is Andreas Ramos. He lives and works in Palo Alto.
