I’ve seen some references here to previous list troubles. Without raising the specters of lists past, is it possible to institute any ground rules that might prevent whatever situation occurred from occurring again, or is it strictly matters of personality?

please don't be, one of the delights of the previous e-list was the sheer variery of disciplinary perspective that came to participate. Everyone bar a very few brought value to the list, and everyone bar a very few took away things of value from others. I hope we can have that factor happening here soon, it was truly brilliant
