That is absolutely correct, other than the "stick outta yer ass" part (I checked, there is no stick there, but thanks for reminding Me to check).Pointing a new member to the correct place to research and find answers to simple questions that are asked on a daily if not weekly basis isnt dumb. Yes your questions were dumb, but not Davids nice reply. Get the stick outta yer ass and youll realize that. So here it is in baby words: SEARCH THE ARCHIVES.

Here's how a person with merely average social skills would accomplish that:
Dear <insert name here>:
Welcome to the MythTv mailing list. Many new members ask exactly the same question that you did. There is an abundance of information to be gleaned from the archives, which you can access at <insert url here>. I hope you have a pleasant experience and if you have any questions that aren't answered in the archives please feel free to post it here. Good luck!
<insert your name here>
Another option would be to ask the list owner to include a link to the archives in the initial confirmation email that all new members receive reminding them where the archives are. I'll send an email to the list owner suggesting that.
Again, thanks for your insight, and for consuming additional resources.
J.
