Recently on the list,
o Lots of posters new to Linux (good) o With problems getting started (bad) o That might have been avoided with the right info (worse)
What's missing, IMHO, is a regular posting of a "Help for Newbies", which should also go out to new subscribers and be mentioned on the trailer that's at the end of every post.
Such a posting would cover how to search the list, point to the FAQs and other important info and (most important!) point to ER's page on how to ask questions.
Thoughts?
