This has basically been my opinion. I don't really mind a new subscriber
coming on with a hashed-out question/opinion. Look at the information
on kwas as an example. I think if someone does come on with
something that NOBODY wants to re-hash a simple nudge to the
Floregium is an excellent example. But we have people subscribing and
unsubscribing every day and I also do not want to dissuade new
members from feeling like they have a voice on this list. That's another
subject that comes from the past and not one that I wish to have
repeated.

To all on the list, 

While I may have brought up the subject, I am of the opinion that I do not
want to discourage the new subscribers either....or longer timers with a
thread to fray.  My thinking was more along the lines of a quick
reference for those who just came on and want to get their feet wet
before diving into the deep end; a way of feeling more caught up to
speed, so to speak.

A FAQ page could be just the ticket.  It would, likewise, be a basic
resource/springboard (READ: inspiration for further investigations) for
those who are not interested in lengthy disciurse or subscribing, but
want a primer on the common misconseptions.  While Stephans
catacombs of information are valuable, they can be intimidating for the
neophyte. <END>
