But we should be encouraging the list members to avail themselves of
the Perl FAQ and all the other resources at their disposal. I know I
always want to exhaust as many other avenues as possible before
admitting to thousands of stranges that I can't figure it out. But
that's just me.
Many of us learned our on-line etiquette the hard way, in less gentle
forms at a time when the Internet was first catching fire in the 90s.
(Remember when AOL.COM = flamebait?).
If there was a welcome to the list e-mail other than the bot
instructions, I don't remember it and didn't save it like I usually do
listadmin stuff. Perhaps a gentle introduction to the list to new
subscribers would be sufficient, with off-line/direct mail nudging of
folks (so we dont' clutter up the list like I'm doing now) with
meta-matter.
