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.

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).
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!

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.
