+# 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
