tom jennings (still a friend), the creator of fidonet[0], was repeatedly
pressured to make rules. he eventually gave in and made two rules. of
course, they immediately became expanded by the embellishers, resulting
in https://www.fidonet.org/policy4.txt, from which i quote
The FidoNet judicial philosophy can be summed up in two rules:
1) Thou shalt not excessively annoy others.
2) Thou shalt not be too easily annoyed.
I think I'm right in suggesting that all legal codes are simply this, but with a little more definition of "annoy", "excessively", and "easily".
