Agreed. I know it will just end up in a filter right to the bit bucket for me. We are dealing with adults here right? And I'm going to go out on a limb and say some fairly smart ones, so why couldn't all of this info be placed somewhere accessible like the wiki and if/when someone posts without a tag (if thats the route we're going) then I'm sure someone on the list will point them to the wiki that spells out the mailing list guidelines. Even if that message were sent out everyday, people will still send messages without the "proper" tags and need to be reminded. I've been on too many lists to count so I know that it happens. Maybe I just have too much faith in people having the ability to figure things out and follow the rules.
I understand that the list is trying to get some semblance of order but I just don't see how sending out the same email daily will help. As I said above, that daily message will just get sent directly to the bit bucket and won't even be seen. Fairly certain that I won't be the only one doing that. Just to be clear, I think having all of the information regarding tags and such is a good thing, I just dont agree that it needs to be sent out as a daily reminder. Just my 2 cents.

I don't think we can easily send such welcome messages with ASF lists, and anyway I agree that such information belongs at http://incubator.apache.org/flex/ anyway. There's http://www.apache.org/dev/contrib-email-tips.html which is pretty good IMO, and already linked from http://incubator.apache.org/flex/mailing-lists.html -Bertrand
