ditto.

Since this list seems to be turning into a place where caps lock impaired
wheenies demand answers as if this was a help desk, maybe this is a
good time to think about penalties.  As a suggestion:

new channel: list-abuse at ethz.ch
Send complaints.  After exceeding a certain threshold:

1st time offenders receive a warning message + 3 months probation period.
Repeated abuse -> 3 months removal of the list.  Thereafter the user is
on (semi) permanent probation.

The warning message should contain a usage guideline (probably in HTML)
and a pointer to, no: a copy of, the common internet guidelines.

regards,
