The LEM lists, while can be helpful, are VERY VERY bad examples of a
"nice" list. They are however great examples of how to run a list who's
goal is to piss off every subscriber inside of 6 months.

The nazis they have as list nannies are unreal, and the list mom may be
the worst of the bunch. I think even Sellam would find their level of
topic policing to be too much ;-)
