I guess there is no particular reason not to change this message if its current wording really bothers some people, however I would like to point out that it is not a grammar mistake. A grammar mistake is when you say, for instance, "I will buy a house when I will be rich". If you use the wrong tense and just end up not saying what you should have said or wanted to say, you have screwed up, not made a grammar mistake. Incidentally, one amusing property of this mailing list is that every time someone complained about a point of grammar, there was at least one glaring error in the plaintiff's message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Except I don't have any list-specific welcome messages.
