That said, it is difficult to explain Discussion List Etiquette (even, 
basic communications skills and politesse) to students who 'just want to 
know the answer'.

eg have been amused to see blogging from the GSoC (Google Summer of 
Code) recipients appearing in some aggregating sources I frequent. 
Almost exclusively, the authors assume the reader is fully-aware of the 
subject of his/her endeavors. I wasn't - but I liked the idea that if I 
deleted every single one of their posts, my InTray assumed less 
oppressive proportions!

All the best - will be interested to read object-lessons from your 
observations/participation...
