Yep, we do, and we don't have to feel too guilty in this case, foax, 
because young Andrew had made his way to the wrong part of the 
Infobahn and so headed on out under his own steam. With a prize too: 
he's been told he must go off and read a novelist about whom he'd 
never heard before.

Perhaps in our code of conduct it might be a good idea to ask foax to 
lurk for a few days before posting, just to make sure that this is 
the place they want to be. If Andrew had done that (and I think his 
age and articulate exuberance excuse him), he would have unsubscribed 
without our ever being aware of him.
