Hi Dark, I think this is a great suggestion. Like You I've noticed an increase of the "where do I find accessible games" type question from new list members, and this could be easily resolved by packing such information in the welcome message. Although, this assumes people read them, and I'm certain there are people who will fire off a question like this without having read the welcome message first. Still, its a great idea and I'll see about revising the welcome message and adding those links to it.
Cheers!
