A small piece of advice: Think of ng's as ongoing conversations. You
wouldn't just throw a random sentence into a chat between strangers,
would you? Proper etiquette for groups are to 1) Lurk until you are
familiar with the ng, 2) Post a reply to a message /if/ you have
something constructive to say, 3) /Only/ post [OT]'s to the group once
you are a regular. The exception to these guidelines is if you need
help. Starting a thread with a request for (on-topic) assistance is
/always/ accepted.
