I agree: common sense when applying these guidelines is obviously a
prerequisite. For example, on sounder, the "Topic" section is not
intended to contain strict rules, but rather guide users towards
avoiding writing messages which simply say "I agree" or "This is true"
without furthering the discussion (I received at least 3 or 4 of these
overnight to sounder). Also, even sounder has a vague topic, which is
defined basically by the class of persons reading it (who are interested
in ubuntu + its community, linux, and open source software).
