Matt -

I think you may have (completely) missed the point  ........ no one is being 
"put off" or "diss'd"; the intent is to make new list members aware of a 
resource they did not know existed.

Years of assisting new TCML members (mostly via off-list communications) has 
shown that a very large percentage are completely unaware of the TCML 
archives. The truth is that the TCML archives DO contain a vast amount of 
information, and  are a valuable resource for any beginning coiler who is 
seriously looking to gain a better understanding of what a Tesla coil is, 
how and why it works, and how to build one.

Especially with commonly asked questions, the archives will frequently 
provide a much broader range of responses and opinions than will be obtained 
by a direct inquiry to the List, which may elicit only a limited number of 
responses.

The bottom line is that an initial search of the archives will help a new 
coiler focus his efforts and inquiries where they will do the most good.
