Wow.  The HUMBUG lists used to have a reputation for being a place where 
flaming was very rare.  It was so unusual people would explicitely mention 
the lack of flaming.

I still think these lists have less problems than many of the LUG lists 
I'm on (which is quite a few[1]).

Yep, yep and yep.  It's spelled out well here of course: 
http://www.humbug.org.au/mailingLists.php

[1] I recently joined a Cuban LUG list.  My wife and I plan to visit 
Jamaica and Cuba over Christmas and I'm taking some OSS resources down 
with me.  The Cubans tell me that Linux and *BSD are very popular there.  
Most of the discussions are in Spanish but it looks like little flaming is 
going on :)
