[PD] list etiquette

[Jonathan Wilkes]

I'm changing the subject so that a discussion about the change in tone 
of this list doesn't carry the unfair implication that it's due to one member.

I don't see a problem complaining about the netiquette of a list member, 
but I just ask that it be clear, constructive criticism.
