First, let's keep in mind that I am also in favor of completely ignoring 
help vampires, including Nikos.  I agree with Vladimir that we should 
just ignore him.

The posts I was thinking of started with Daniel Stojanov:

     "I just signed up the this mailing list. To the regulars, is this 
what normally happens on this list?"

and the next day, Ravi Sahni said in response:

     "Lurker here: I too was wondering whether I have got into the wrong 
place"
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2013-October/656695.html

When people walk through the door, we should speak well to them.  If 
they are trouble, we should deal with them without it turning into a 
negative storm.  Remember that there are people looking in the windows 
trying to decide whether to come through the door.
