[Courses] [FS] Hello

[Meredydd]

Hey again,

In fact, I very much did explicitly ask for these "hello" posts, and 
they've helped immensely with guaging reactions. Personally, I'd like 
to have this continue throughout the course, with everyone responding 
at least once to each lesson (as suggested in my introductory mail), as 
it's nice to feel where your "pupils" are at, and how fast they're 
assimilating the material.

In general, if you're subscribed to the entire courses list, but aren't 
particularly interested in this one, and the large amounts of traffic 
it's generating, then head over to the subscription options page for 
courses (linked from the website under "mailing lists"), and subscribe 
to explicit topics rather than generally to the list.

Addressing this issue specifically: Personally, I have a phat pipe, a 
threaded mail client, and a willingness to use either until they creak 
:^) People missing one or more of the above are going to find my 
mass-participation approach irritating. This is a problem.

One solution would be for all the "hello" mails and pure-confirmation 
mails with no other content than "I understood this completely" to be 
sent straight to me via private email. Poll - who feels that this would 
be worthwhile? Or do you not mind it staying on the list? Please email 
me *privately* (avoid annoying people even more :^) ) - answers on a 
postcard to meredydd at everybuddy.com...
