1) One post per person per thread.  That includes the initiator of the
thread.
2) Responses in a thread must be in response to the original message.  No
responding to responses.
4) A person may initiate a maximum of two threads per week.  Exception for
foundation staff, board members, list administrator(s), and with permission
of the list administrator(s).  Responses per week are unlimited subject to
rules 1 and 2.
5) Posts generally do not go through a moderation queue.  Anyone breaking
the rules will be put on moderation or unsubscribed at the discretion of the
list administrator(s).

But please, not on this list.  This list is fine as it is.
