A letter of introduction is definitely allowed.

Welcome to the list! You'll find a lot of people with great experience 
here. This list helped ease my first forays into the Linux and Free 
software universes back in '96 or '97 or so. Wow. Getting close to 20 
years with Linux. I think i tried it for the first time in '95 but 
didn't switch to it as my primary OS until '98. ...And now i feel old.
