They're little links all over the place. We constantly point them out to people. They don't read them. What's one more? This, by the way, is why I was against making the etiquette "offical." Not because I don't think it should be read; I wish we could force feed it to a few recent posters here. I simply don't believe adding more paragraphs, pages, links, suggestions, or FAQ's is going to help when the problem posters don't read them anyways.
It'll be a shame if we miss out on a new member because they are too impatient to wait a few days before posting (something most everyone should do, whether forced to or not). However, the vast majority of new members who can't take a short waiting period problably wouldn't last here anyways.

You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
