In general, ihnoring people is, yeah, ignorant :)
No, really, they should be, as part of the answer, be informed that
they should read the netiquette before further posting.

Someone being caught deliberately ignoring the guidelines after
multiple hints to them should be ignored after a while. But I hope
this will not be necessary.

I don't think the idea making the list fully moderated, (in my
understanding meaning only reviewed posts come through), is a good
idea in general. Unmoderated Mailing lists work fine all over the
world, so there's no reason the xen-users list should fail.
It's also not already very bad, but I wanted to make it a bit nicer,
and mainly help people doing better postings, because some do bad
postings because they don't know better.
