We're now back to email threads again it seems. (This is not the criticism it might seem, I miss the days of long-form proposals discussed through email, it promotes a kind of thinking that Slack etc doesn't).


Personally, I liked it when email threads followed the Usenet "laws".

Most of the best discussions I've had online followed those rules.

(OTOH, those rules are written tongue-in-cheek and not likely to be understood well by most newcomers.)


Thanks for sharing the laws!
