I'd say, as we're an english list, directing users directly to:
http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
would be better in the quoting department. 

There are some spelling errors, maybe a native speaker can look over
this, as I would surly overlook some. 

Maybe we should also try to explain pd-patch attachments? Sometimes
they are inside the mail, which is annoying, as you have to copypaste
the relevant parts. However I don't know, which mail software is
responsible for this. Mutt seems to get it right anyway. 

Also some remarks about the different pd-lists would be good. I think
it's a bit annoying if there are too technical, development topics on
the main pd-list. Everything which involves source code should go to
pd-dev. Maybe then we also could promote pd-ot a bit for questions
like: "Which graphics card is the best?" or "No sound on Linux". 

Other than that, I think it's a very good text, but I think, we have a
similar view on netiquette anyway, so lets hope for more comments. ;)

Ciao
