We've already seen a few new people explicitly asking, "is this what

Here's the post of Vladimir Bugaj earlier in this same thread:
I rarely ever post here.
But I wanted to say that people responding to this Nikos troll makes reading
this list a nuisance.
You've never ever been successful in convincing him to behave, and it's been
going on for quite a while now.
I remain subscribed for occasional interesting new idioms and tips, but
always have to sift through this nonsense.
And all of you who take the bait are as much a part of the problem as the troll.
Just ignore the guy.

How do you read this that he minds the 'Mark-style' post more than the
'Chris-style' post?
First, let's keep in mind that I am also in favor of completely ignoring
help vampires, including Nikos. I agree with Vladimir that we should
just ignore him.
The posts I was thinking of started with Daniel Stojanov:
"I just signed up the this mailing list. To the regulars, is this
what normally happens on this list?"

and the next day, Ravi Sahni said in response:
"Lurker here: I too was wondering whether I have got into the wrong
place"

When people walk through the door, we should speak well to them. If
they are trouble, we should deal with them without it turning into a
negative storm. Remember that there are people looking in the windows
trying to decide whether to come through the door.
