A lurker adds his two cents.
If you check the earliest archives of TIPS you will find that as people
joined the list they submitted an introduction. This not only provided
interesting information but it also facilitated knowing people's special
areas of interest, which promoted the development of special interest
groups. When I joined the list I went back and read all the Archives in
order to know what had previously been talked about and the general pattern
of communication. Naturally the Archives are too lengthy to perform such a
feat now.
Oh, for the good old days of personalness and civility.
