(Rant Warning) Delete if you like. <BWWG>

Please someone help me out. ;-) Does anyone read the intro welcome letter?
How many new s*bscribers does this list get in an average day or week? It
sure would be nice to know that *some* do _wait and read_ before posting.
Seems like every few days we get someone that _just_ joined. Yada Yada
Yada.....

I know, I know! Use the delete key. I've already went to digest. Then I
have to scroll through it all.

(End Rant)

Usually there are 3-5 who subscribe. It goes up when the HEM and Unschooling
newsletters come out.

Most people don't jump right in.

There isn't anything to be said on list that can affect the behavior of the
people who will join tomorrow or the next day or the next. The only gateway
they all pass through (or by) is the welcome letter. And there's no
guarantee that everyone reads it. :-/

Thanks Joyce.:-) I kinda figured that but just had to vent a bit. I've
went to digest to maybe save me time reading. Even though I have to scroll
through *everything* when some don't kiss. I read slow but absorb a lot.
Thanks all. <BWWG>
