Of course it should be something that new users _can_ use and will find _rewarding_ to use, and keep them out of your hair :-) This raises a few issues which have not been dealt with much because of an absence of target audience.

Oh boy, I can't wait to hear you rip someone to shreds for not using the archives again! :-) Now that you've baited me into speaking up... do you think it might be possible for you and me to start cooperating, just for a change?
