That's called a welcome message and is standard on nearly all email lists ... although I truly can't remember getting any when I sub'ed to this one in november.
The standard for most lists is that you get a message telling you what the list is for, what is allowed, what is not, and how and where to get info on whatever common OT posts that eventually pop up ... So I'd agree to this ...
