I think your suggestion for the Monks posting their first question is a very good idea. However, instead of requesting them to confirm having read "all" the nodes you suggested, I would ask them to confirm having read "only" I want to ask a question of the Perl Monks. Where do I start?. Again, as you mentioned, they could just consider it as an EULA and click right through it. However, being only one node we are asking them to read, I guess that there is a better chance that they will read it. Moreover, if they are really interested in learning how to post effective questions, they can follow the links in I want to ask a question of the Perl Monks. Where do I start?

Cheers,
