   How is the welcome message initiated?
   Do you, Nathan Sivin, see a new member subscribing and send
   the message? Or do you also note those who post,but aren't
   yet members and send them the welcome message too?

  Did you send the welcome to any of these recent subscribers?

   who posted from Papua New Guinea but was not a member and thus
   could not read the answers. Noticing that he was not a subscriber,
   so couldn't read responses to his message, posted to the list,
   I forwarded responses to him. He emailed a reply saying he
   found out about the list but couldn't figure out then how to

   join.
