I thought of it at first but the only ones who would know there is a thread
for that are the ones who have already introduced themselves or are reading
the e-mails. Most new people would keep opening new threads for their
introduction. I agree with you that some people might leave the mailing
list due to the harsh feedback, but some people may also leave the mailing
list due to the enormous amount of introduction e-mails.

It gets annoying after a while to keep being notified of new e-mails that
are only introductions from lots of people around the globe. However, I
don't think there is a thing we can do about it. Just stand it, for the
sake of it :-)

Actually, I think there is something we can do. As soon as we start talking
about Python, it may get less annoying. Let's go!

PS: About my introduction, my e-mail signature is enough, I think.
