1) Do not reply to existing threads for an unrelated topic, start a
new thread. A good explanation is in
<http://wiki.exim.org/MailingListEtiquette#Thread_Stealing>

2) Take the time to provide a meaningful subject. Here, "Report to
OECD about cybersecurity" is certainly better than "FYI"

3) Do not post a single URL without at least a short summary of why it
is relevant and why people may want to read it. Some URL provide
enough content (like the one I used above) but not all.
