Well, I think they're quite reasonable: they merely state and explain  
the implicit posting rules for mailing lists and newsgroups. The rules  
aren't arbitrary; they've been slowly formed through decades of  
experience and are the most effective way we know of to efficiently  
communicate in this medium.

In any case, reasonable or not, those are the rules. If you don't like  
them, go and form your own mailing list. It'll either fall apart  
because it's difficult to follow and understand, or you'll find that  
it'll adopt similar rules even if just self-imposed by the majority of  
posters.
