Maybe it's another desparate method people will get the jiggles to hear,
but I'd suggest that the "welcome aboard" message sent from majordomo
should contain a big "READ THIS NOW", "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" and
also "KEEP THIS MESSAGE" together with a min-FAQ list and pointers to sources
of information to be consulted before posting.  If someone doesn't pay
attention to these signs then it is really his problem when he gets to the
firing zone.

(also, hopefully a saved message with instructions to unsubscribe will save
all of us from these unwanted messages).
