+# On Posting
+
+Before asking a question on a list, first make an effort to find the answer
+to your question. When you ask your question, (1) be details, and (2) demonstrate
+that you have made an effort, e.g., "I am having trouble frobbing the foo. I
+searched the web and only found information regarding how to frob a bar, but
+that seems unrelated."
+
+List etiquette is to cc the sender and anyone **actively** involved in the
+discussion. Some people don't like this and they set their reply-to header
+appropriately. Respect this.
+
+It is rarely appropriate to cc multiple lists. Sometimes it is. In that case,
+do so. If in doubt, don't; just choose the single most appropriate list.
+
+# Main Lists
Lists are unmoderated and hosted on <http://mail.gnu.org> unless otherwise marked.
+Try to post to the appropriate mailing list.
