OPENING CIRCLE

*** Welcome to the FAQ list for the Leri-L Metaprogrammers' Mail Service. This document is intended to give you a brief overview of the Leri community and its evironment. It is also intended to serve as a kind of introduction to the community; throughout the course of this document, you will meet a wide variety of Lerilanders and hear their thoughts on a host of topics related to Leri, metaprogramming, and the nature of reality itself (in this neighborhood, at least). (Quotes from list members were taken directly from threads on Leri, from answers to surveys, and from other email related to these topics. Text preceded by *** has been composed by Anon of Ibid.)

It's NOT just a mailing list!
