See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Since the recent Internet explosion, the typical Usenet poster has changed somewhat. For example, many sites used to require people to read the periodic posts in news.announce.newusers before they could post to Usenet at all. These days, it seems like no one even knows what the purpose of news.announce.newusers is. People didn't always think of Usenet as their free helpdesk to which they should send their urgent questions. This isn't the fault of the new users, but their sheer volume makes it very difficult to educate them. The registration system has a few advantages. One of which is new posters receive a nice list of Perl resources. This is good because it increases their chances of finding an answer as well as increases the quality of the answers they'll find. Some weeks on clpmisc feature a set of posters of whom half have never posted to the group before. This suggests that they probably haven't browsed through many Perl resources. Holding posts in escrow also makes the lives of the volunteer moderation panel a little easier. User Contributions:Top Document: [comp.lang.perl.moderated] Welcome - read this first!
