Hi Peters,
Welcome to the list. That is one of our aims here - to keep it informative
but also as friendly as possible. We have designers and developers with a
very wide range of skills and skill levels. But we are all in the same web
standards boat :)
The best quote on friendly attitude would
Hi,
I am a firm believer in standards and mostly just keep an eye on the list
(very erratically) to see what is going on and find out about resources that
I might have missed out on otherwise.
I actively support standards but am beginning to get annoyed at some of the
latest standards coming out

Hi Mike
The purpose of this list is two fold: QA stuff and general web standards
discussion/news updates. We have tried to create a culture on this list that
is very topic based rather than creating a really chatty community with lots
of OT posts about what people got up to on the weekend.

Hi Mike,
I understand what you're getting at however I think you need to invert
the way you're looking at it and see the increasing volume of quality
posts as well.
Personally, I think this is a great list and yes there are times when I
think this or that post could have held off posting.

I'd join both!

Mike et. al.,
I'm very new to the WSG list. I have been feeling my way around to see
what is appropriate for this list. I'm not in AU. I'm in New York so I
