Quoting

[Karen Lewellen]

Lorenzo,
With all due respect, this may not be true.  People are joining all the 
time, and even those here are searching the archives when looking for 
something.  Sometimes a thread shifts and the first part of it or the 
source question   is no longer clear.
Therefore at least in a information based list like this repeating that 
message both gives readers a chance to follow  the discussion, and may 
even save time in having a topic repeated.
Does this make sense?
