Drafting out a welcome email

[Pace]

Anyone have any ideas of what to put in a welcome email? Obviously links to the forum, and the sites run by myself and Martin (Ees), but what about a general welcoming message?

And who likes the idea of a mailing list?

Paul.

Since I'm the 1D10T who bought the whole stupid thing up... here ya go. And yes I don't like the idea of mailing list - forum seems quite sufficient.

To err is human, but to really screw things up requires a computer.
