Excellent suggestion, Charles.
How about a "Welcome!" message that new members automatically received upon
initial subscription (is that what you meant?)? Such message could provide
not only a welcome and list of FAQ (updated from time to time), but also
could include a list of links (the Oly Web, of course, and also links to
beginning photography pages, for example); a "Who's Who" of the list, and
general etiquette for posting to the list, to get the newbies (like me, not
so long ago) off to a good start.
