(Biting my tongue not to comment on the irony that this thread about limiting the amount of emails sent to this list probably accounts for the largest number of emails I received from this list in a while) I'll just add that I don't mind the occasional "such and such joined" message on various W3C lists. Easily ignorable, and I often find it quite interesting to know/see who joined and to perhaps reach out to them (off-list, sure) to offer help/advice to get started. The "there's no need to introduce them, let their contributions be their introduction" argument does smack a tad of meritocracy. With that, I'll go back in lurk mode so as not to anger the message-counters. P -- Patrick H.
