I guess some people who don't know the rules and aren't used to mailing lists (which includes looking for guidelines before posting) are people who would rather subscribe through a web interface. An idea would be, while keeping the usual mailing list stuff (the ability to subscribe by sending an email to a specified address and so on), having a web subscription interface that would drive the user through two or three slides concisely explaining some important rules, and how to unsubscribe. Of course /then/ some people would skip the slides... -- Nuno J.
