Smoking is banned in colleges which makes it a rule. Maybe chewing gum is a better parallel? :)
A more important qustion is - do you only want techies here or users also ? If you want users also, then you have no option but to allow top / bottom posting from people like us who use mobiles to send out most of the mails. If not then you will be stuck with a pure tech group, which is not necessarily going to achieve the target of making linux more popular among users (assuming that is a goal at all)
I do not think that is a goal for most of us - I am in this list to keep in contact with existing linux users, and also to avail of the vast hardware related expertise of members here.
ps - please trim your posts
