That's unfortunately true, i do sometimes wonder how often people read
welcome messages and such.
Stil, for those who do it might be a good idea, and even for people who
don't, you could just send them an extra copy of the message when they ask
rather than someone on list having to once again explain about
audiogames.net, pcsgames.net etc.
Beware the grue!

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Suggestion about the list
Hi Dark,
I think this is a great suggestion. Like You I've noticed an increase
of the "where do I find accessible games" type question from new list
members, and this could be easily resolved by packing such information
in the welcome message. Although, this assumes people read them, and
I'm certain there are people who will fire off a question like this
without having read the welcome message first. Still, its a great idea
and I'll see about revising the welcome message and adding those links
to it.
Cheers!

Hi.
Obviously one major purpose of the games list is to answer questions
about
games.
It seems one of the most common is the "where do I get games" question. I
don't mean someone asking about where to get stratogy games or games with
a
fantasy theme, I mean the question of where to get audio games generally!
For this reason, I do wonder if it might be possible to put links to the
lists at www.pcsgames.net and www.audiogames.net on the confirmation
E-mail
that people get when subscribing to the list, or if it isn't possible to
alter the text of that mail, put together a sort of short welcome mail
with
those links and perhaps any other useful information in a very quick and
easy page that people get when they join.
that way new members can start finding games streight off the bat when
they
join up, rather than having to sit on list and (as a recent new member
put
it), wonder where we all find these games that we're discussing.
Of course, I suspect people will stil ask about their favourite game
types
or subject matter, or games on a given os, but stil this might help to at
least give people a bit of a start, and avoid the "where do I get games
generally" type of questions.
I could have a bash at knocking up some sort of short info welcome
message
with a couple of links myself if that would help, though if tom, Raul or
damian as the list mods, or indeed anyone else wants to have a crack at
doing this that is also okay.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
