How else can we sort out the noobs? And crush their spirit? 8)

Actually, if one feels the need to school somebody, at least do it via
private email if possible. The easiest way is a link to an "official"
page with a brief summary of expected mail-list protocol, which link
can be included in the confirmation message or even a click-through
for confirmation..

Then the list can spend time on the business at hand instead of style
and grammar issues and the ensuing flame wars.
