the rule of thumb is... [Don't say it ; show it ]
Maybe 10% of the time, ppl who say [Welcome to ...] are actually good
(welcoming) ppl.

Fine, I won't say "welcome to the list" to anyone in the future.
Instead, I'll say "why don't you go and solve your own problems by
searching the web".
That's WAY more friendly, right? We should all start doing that.
It's true what they say - no good deed goes unpunished.

note that this is the very same rude guy ('dn') who wants to shunt me away to
the TUTOR list.
--- i guess i'd consider being TUTOR'ed by 'dn' (or someone

if i can be paid$1000 / hour for it.
Have others noticed this too? (it's often the guy who says "Welcome" that)
Whenever someone says "Welcome" to me (in this way), my alarm goes off.
- a good way to explain it (the Phenomenon) is... it's an indication
that he's itching to treat me as a Newbie... that he 's salivating because he
senses an opportunity to MANsplain and WHITEsplain things to me.
