Who set the etiquette?
That would be the mailing list owner(s).
E-mail netiquette, in various forms, has been around since at least the late 80s. A good portion of it can be found in RFC1855 (released 1995), or in texts like "Zen and the art of Internet" (1992). Graramp played fast with a rule himself by using a rather provocative tone, but I think he is correct in pointing out that some people have been rather lax or thoughtless in this list. Top-posting and full quotes definitely make my teeth itch. ;-)
