Err, joined the list is what I meant. At any given time, there are a
certain number of active threads; anyone who joins the list will get
the posts since joining but not the ones prior, for which they'll have
to dig around elsewhere. Since netiquette recommends that posts quote
enough of the prior posts to provide context, this shouldn't be a
major problem, but there is a bit of advantage to news here.
