[at-l] 10 years ago!

It used to be that when you joined the list, you would lurk, see all the AT 
related traffic, and slowly introduce yourself and start participating.  
Remember, new list members come here first for the AT info.

These days, there are times when anyone who joins the list may lurk for days 
and maybe weeks between AT relevant messages.  I'm guessing many don't stick 
around long enough to see the AT related messages.

The more we can keep the list on-topic, the more likely we are to find new 
members gracing our list.  Plus, with other sites like White Blaze 
available, many may find that the threaded forums area easier to wade 
through than the "noise" on at-l.
