I fully agree with you John.

I think introductions are reasonably step in the mentoring process and
we just need to think about the responses. I don't really care, as long
as there is really something to discuss and not only 10 people replying
"Welcome", it could and IHMO should go to the list. If you just want to
welcome somebody or discuss regional business, please do this in private
or one of the regional lists.

Kind regards,
