     "- If you should find yourself in a disagreement with one person,
       make your responses to each other via mail rather than continue to
       send messages to the list or the group.  If you are debating a
       point on which the group might have some interest, you may
       summarize for them later."

P.S. - Let's consider this the last word on this topic. If you are offended
by a consistent top poster, use a mail filter, or get a modern email client.
