While introductions are interesting and welcome, there`s nothing
either in the the TIPS guidelines (see the TIPS website at the
url in my signature file) or in our general practice which
requires this. Many of us (ahem!) have never done so. So the
blunder concern is unfounded. And if everyone who never
introduced now rushed to do it, we`d really be in trouble.
But I personally like to see a signature file, even though this
isn't required by TIPS guidelines either (which rarely concerns
us, anyway). It usually provides the minimum information to
satisfy my curiosity about the writer. Some lists do insist on
it. But even if we don`t, it seems like basic netiquette to me.
