Note:  This does not represent my personal preference, just the state
of affairs as it currently exists.

Chris, what you say would carry more weight were GNUbies advised of
this /before/ getting onto this list.  There is no regular posting of
the CoC, there is no notice of its existence when one subscribes to the
list.  there is no pointer to the CoC anywhere on the list.  Yes, if
one comes to the list from
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists
there is this single lonely sentence:
"Please read the guidelines for use of the mailing lists at the
etiquette page," 
but it doesn't seem to carry the weight we'd all like to see users
understand.

Personally, I'd like to see each and every list member /sign/ the
danged CoC before being allowed to post to the list.  

Maybe some stalwart list guru could implement that...
